Abstract: Presented are idiophone-type musical instruments, methods for manufacturing such instruments, and methods of using such instruments. An idiophone instrument includes a main body with a main body wall, and multiple elongated fins that are rigidly secured to and project outward from the main body wall. The elongated fins are substantially mutually parallel with one another and spaced in face-to-face relationship with one another. The main body and elongated fins may be integrally formed as a single-piece structure from a metallic material. The elongated fins may project substantially orthogonally from the main body wall. The main body may consist essentially of the main body wall, which may be a substantially flat plate. Each of the elongated fins may have a respective length that is distinct from the lengths of all other fins.

Abstract: An easy access arrow quiver is removably mountable to a bow. A hollow, elongated, generally cylindrical enclosure features an elongated, longitudinally oriented aperture through which arrows may be inserted and removed. A rotatable rod disposed centrally within the enclosure includes a pair of spaced-apart arrow-retainment disks, each having a shaped perimeter defining a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart arrow-shaft retainment clips, the disks being rotationally positioned respectively about the rod so that the clips on each disk are longitudinally aligned. A coupling unit, which has a first portion making physical connection to the enclosure and a second portion which attaches to the bow, permits the enclosure to be removably mounted to the bow such that the longitudinal dimension of the enclosure and the aperture are generally parallel to the drawstring of the bow.
