List,

I was tuning today for the Ballet and came across an unusual 
(for me) instrument in the pit.  It looked like a tube shaped 
desk.  Inside were numerous glass bowls cupped into each 
other from large to small.  I would presume they are played 
with a mallet?  Anyone have any info on these devices.  By 
the way it was being used in the Ballets's "Othello" production.
