A reverberating percussion instrument has a resonating chamber of a completely smoothly contoured configuration to facilitate generation of long-duration pitched reverberations, and a plurality of hollow and substantially mutually parallel vibratable tubes of different lengths, each of which being suspended from an element of the resonating chamber by a tensioned filament at each longitudinal end thereof. Reverberated and resonating musical sounds are directed forwardly from the resonating chamber in response to selective vibration of one or more of the tubes.
