The Mysterious Lithophones of Vietnam
 
The word €˜lithophone is derived from two Greek words, €˜lithos and €˜phone. The first can be translated as €˜stone, whilst the second means €˜sound. Therefore, a lithophone may be said to be a €˜sound-making stone. Today, this word is used to denote a type of musical instrument made of stones. Lithophones have been discovered in different parts of the world, including Vietnam.

Researchers have said that lithophones were played between 4,000 and 10,000 years ago.
Generally speaking, a lithophone consists of several stone slabs of
varying sizes. As these stones are struck, different tones are
produced. Therefore, a lithophone may be considered to be a percussion
instrument, and it has often been compared to a xylophone.

They aren't arranged very conveniently and it would take several people
to put together a melody, but these are an interesting phenomenon. The
site is only a short way off I90 for anyone passing through.

You can do the same thing if you line up several Libtard Democrats and strike
them on the tops of their heads with wooden kitchen utensils. Depending on
how they're whining and complaining at any given time, you can achieve some
very interesting nuances in the various tones from the impacts. I prefer
something with a 'Rockabilly' flavor but 'Polka' will do. "Libtardphones".

Hope this helps.
