Definicja i Znaczenie "dulcitone"

What is a "dulcitone"?

A dulcitone is a keyboard instrument similar in design to a small piano but with a distinct method of sound production. It features metal bars that are struck by hammers when the keys are pressed. The bars are tuned to specific pitches and produce a soft, bell-like tone. The sound is resonated through metal tubes or chambers beneath the bars. The dulcitone is valued for its warm, gentle sound and is used in a variety of musical contexts, including classical compositions, folk music, and as a unique timbre in modern arrangements.
