		Known as lithophones, the ancient instruments are typically made of 11 slabs of stone.
		The lithophones were found in the southern province of Binh Duong in early January at a site that stretches some 20ha near a small hill in My Loc village in Tan My Commune of Tan Uyen District.
		Lithophones as age-old percussion musical instrumemts, have been unearthed in the regions of the M’nong, the Ma and the Raglai ethnic groups in Vietnam’s Central Highlands and southern delta.

		This lithophone is selected from 400 slabs of stone which were intended to make fence.
		It is logical in the case of a lithophone consisting of seven slabs and five tones and for certain it is a lithophone, rather than, sonorous stones put together.
		Most of the opinions are in favor that it is a lithophone because slabs of stone belong to the same vestige.

		A very rare percussion instrument, the lithophone is a range of tuned stones.
		This can be up to five octaves in length but more generally, would only have two or three.
		However, the modern lithophones have circular notes, which have excellent ringing properties.

	Patent 4135031: Magnetic recording substance
		The magnetic recording substance as claimed in claim 1, wherein the powdered solid is of at least one material selected from the group consisting of talc, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, lithophone, complex of zinc sulfide and zinc sulfate, aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, kaolin, carbon, barium sulfate, silicon dioxide, barium carbonate and mixtures thereof.
		The thickness on dry base of the back layer is ordinarily 0.5 to 10 microns, preferably 0.8 to 5 microns and the proportion by weight of the spike grains to the total weight of the back layer ranges from 1/1000 to 30/1000.
		Useful examples of the materials for such spike grains are talc, titanium oxide, zinc oxide (ZnO), lithophone, complex of zinc sulfide and zinc sulfate, aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, kaolin, carbon, barium sulfate (BaSO.sub.4), silicon dioxide (SiO.sub.2), barium carbonate (BaCO.sub.3), etc. Above all, talc, lithophone and complex of zinc sulfide and zinc sulfate are preferable.

	Das 'talempong batu' von Talang Anau (West-Sumatra)
		Ich hatte nie zuvor über megalithische Musikinstrumente in diesem Gebiet gehört, erinnerte mich aber an das Lithophon aus Ndut Lieng Krak in Süd-Vietnam ( FN 2).
		Desweiteren sind der Platz und das Lithophon offensichtlich bereits einmal in das Blickfeld der Provinzregierung West-Sumatras gekommen.
		Ein höheres Alter des Lithophons ist möglich, jedoch kann hierzu aufgrund der vorliegenden Daten zur Zeit nicht viel gesagt werden.

		All of these little known instruments are now available in a truly exceptional sample library for the first time ever!
		For the first time ever, the round sound characteristic of stone is available in sampled form: with its singular tone range of nearly 5 octaves, this one-of-a-kind lithophone provides the deepest tones "made of stone"!
		This instrument is the only available lithophone built like a marimba and equipped with resonators, offering enormous musical possibilities from extremely supple, full, and dark deep tones up to the hard and bright high notes.

		This set of 30 tall, tuned glass tubes can be rubbed with moistened fingers to create atmospheric floaty sustains, or played with mallets to give a resonant and unusual xylophonic timbre.
		Looking like a gigantic, alien marimba whose wooden keys have been replaced by massive stone slabs, the lithophone has great exotic appeal; its soft mallet samples provide a great timbre for rippling tuned-percussion patterns, while hard mallet hits add a musically pure pitch to the ancient ceremonial sound of resonant stones.
		As one would expect from a VSL release, all four instruments in this 4.41GB library are multi-dynamic and perform different note lengths, trills, tremolos, glissandi, and effects, including some mad processing on certain lithophone samples.

		Zur Bestimmung des der Stimmung des Lithophons zugrunde liegenden Tonsystems wurden die Cent-Werte zwischen den in Tabelle 1 aufgeführten Grundfrequenzen ermittelt.
		Da aber die Steine eines Lithophons, wie alle schwingenden Platten oder Barren, kein harmonisches Spektrum aufweisen, muß man in der Kultur, in der das Lithophon entstand, aufgrund der exponierten Stellung der Proportion zumindest entweder die Existenz von Blas- oder Saiteninstrumenten annehmen.
		Gerade Lithophone unterliegen in ihren Stimmungen großen Schwankungen mit der Temperatur,6 daher ist eine entsprechend empfindliche Reaktion des 'talempong batu' auf Temperaturschwankungen relativ wahrscheinlich.

		A lithophone is a musical instrument consisting of a plurality of rocks or pieces of rock, in which musical notes are sounded by striking one or more of the rocks in combination.
		The lithophone is similar to the glockenspiel, tubular glockenspiel, metallophone, xylophone, marimba, and to the glass percussion instruments created by Barry Prophet of The Music Gallery, not to be confused with the verrophone (a musical instrument that makes sound by rubbing, not by hitting, glass).
