Abstract
A percussion instrument comprises an oblong plastic block having a generally rectangular block portion with a front face and top and bottom surfaces, and a flange extending outwardly from the sides and rear. An elongated slot in the front face extends rearwardly to the rear flange, and laterally between the side flanges. The block has a raised ridge on the top face adjacent the front face for striking. In addition, landings are formed in the flanges which, together with a cooperating bracket assembly, act as a means for mounting the block.
