It's a metal musical instrument in metal black. It makes a pretty good sound ♡ A faint, quiet C major, 11 notes Approximately 16cm in diameter, 8cm thick The sound varies depending on how you strike it and the type of mallet used. Sometimes it sounds like a suikinkutsu (water koto cave). Fun for beginners. Sorry, no discounts. But those who get it are lucky. For 11 notes, this price is a steal.
