What is a "terpodion"?

A terpodion is a keyboard instrument that produces sound by striking metal bars with hammers when the keys are pressed. The bars are arranged in a row, and each one is tuned to a specific pitch. The instrument creates a bright, metallic tone with a distinctive, resonant quality. The terpodion was used primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, especially in Russia and Eastern Europe, and is known for its unique sound and the special texture it adds to musical compositions.
