This curious musical instrument was made between 1827 and 1840 and is made with a rare local stone called hornfels. It resides within Keswick Museum, located in Cumbria, and is on of the largest Lithophones in the world that is open for the public use. Come and see us and play the marvellous instrument for yourself!
