  • Patent number: 11710470
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a hand-held musical instrument comprising a first metal plate or portion of a metal plate configured to emit a sound having a first note when struck with a mallet, and a second metal plate or portion of a metal plate configured to emit a sound having a second note when struck with a mallet, with the first and second plates/portions being connected by a handle that is sized and configured to be held by a human hand. The instrument may be held in one hand and the plates/portions struck with a mallet using the other hand. Embodiments of the musical instrument produce complementary notes that are free of interference from one another and that each have a gradual decay rate, leading to a relatively long sustain time.

  • Publication number: 20220199060
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a musical instrument comprising a plurality of chimes, each of which has a fork portion comprising first and second prongs, or tines, and a resonator portion. Each chime is configured to produce a note of a predetermined pitch and frequency when one of the tines is struck by a mallet. The instrument may also be configured so that the note produced by striking one of the tines with a mallet has a desirable sustain. Embodiments of the musical instrument may be configured for installation in an outdoor environment, such as a playground or other recreational area, and thus to withstand the stresses associated with such an installation.
