The Cylindrum is a massive tuned percussion instrument designed using the principle of open and closed air column resonance. Created by Gregg Stephens, this unique instrument spans 20 feet in length and offers a pitch range spanning a full four octaves. The instrument sounds like a hybrid between an organic synthesizer and tuned tom toms, making it a versatile addition to any sound library.
