A set of stone musical instrument dating from 3,000 years ago was unearthed by a farmer in Da Kai commune, Duc Linh district, when he dug holes for planting coffee trees, according to Vietnam news agency today.

The music instrument comprises five slabs of black blue stone, which, when arranged from small to big, form a trapezoid.

This is a typical character of ancient lithophone, different from new lithophones or sounding stone slabs.

The instrument has been handed over to the Binh Thuan museum.

Earlier, the Binh Thuan museum in coordination with a Japanese expert also discovered another lithophone at a site only 3km away from the place where the 3,000-year-old one was found.

Note: 3000 year old Stone Instrument, the Lithophone, found while planting trees - Vietnam.
