OUTDOOR MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
The present disclosure is directed to a musical instrument comprising a plurality of chimes, each of which has a fork portion comprising first and second prongs, or tines, and a resonator portion. Each chime is configured to produce a note of a predetermined pitch and frequency when one of the tines is struck by a mallet. The instrument may also be configured so that the note produced by striking one of the tines with a mallet has a desirable sustain. Embodiments of the musical instrument may be configured for installation in an outdoor environment, such as a playground or other recreational area, and thus to withstand the stresses associated with such an installation.

Automated singing bowl
A singing bowl player for selectively striking, turning and playing a bowl. The singing bowl player comprises a central axis, a mallet assembly, a rotating layer, and a base. The base supports the singing bowl player. The mallet assembly attaches to the rotating layer. The rotating layer is configured to rotate about the central axis relative to the base in a 360-degree pattern. The base supports and secures the bowl. The mallet assembly comprises a mallet having a striking tip. The mallet assembly selectively holds the striking tip of the mallet at a rim of the bowl as the rotating layer rotates the striking tip around the rim.
