waterphone

A musical instrument consisting of many metal bars connected to a disk with a metal underside. The metal bars are played with either a bow or a stick by either sliding over or tapping them, while the metal underside of the disk is played by patting one's hand against it.
This instrument is most commonly used for the soundtracks or horror movies.
