"The Skiddaw Stones are probably the most unusual and certainly the oldest instrument that Soniccouture has sampled.A Lithophone ( litho = stone, phone= voice ) dating from 1840, The Skiddaw Stones are composed of 61 tuned and shaped rocks, made from the rare hornfels stone, found in Cumbria, England. Hornfels is said to have a superior tone and longer ring than the more commonly used slate."
See SonicCouture for more info including samples.
