Summary:
The sculpture consists of twelve individual chimes tuned to one octave. Each chime is a 4 x 4 inch square aluminum tube. The tubes are positioned vertically one inch apart and welded to a concave metal brace that is suspended three feet off the ground. The bottom of each resonating tube is cut to form vibrating plates that are each tuned to a note in the whole tone scale of music. Musical sounds can be played by tapping a bumper pad that activates a hammer pin to strike the vibrating plates.
