A lithophone is a musical instrument where the notes are made of stone.
With 'litho' referring to stone and 'phone' refereeing to sound.
Below is a public commissioned lithophone. 10 note lithophone tuned to an F major scale made from a single block of Kilkenny limestone (original weight of stone before I began carving the block was 1.7 tonne's).
