Lamellaphone

Lamellaphone made with a wooden resonator carved out of a single piece of wood in a bell-shaped format, with raised edges and sixteen lamellas made of iron alloy. The pressure bar and the bridge are also made of iron alloy, and while the first is attached to the resonator with metal wire, the latter is inserted into the wood surface. The backrest is carved from the resonator. Two holes at the sides of the resonator and a "clean" surface area on the top, point to a probable existence of a rattling panel, now missing. A strap of flat braided cord is attached to the pressure bar end loops.
