That was beautiful. It looks to me as if one of those xylophones was made of rocks. Around here (where I live) we call them singing stones. I have not seen nor heard a xylophone made of rock before; just individual rocks, if you are lucky enough to find them.
There are many more beautiful tunes legally available direct from the orchestras ftp site.
