Dorophone

Reliable sources seem unavailable. Web search shows a few one or two-word mentions in album liner notes. Just plain Bill (talk) 00:25, 7 April 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:05, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - I am unable to find significant coverage in reliable sources for this instrument. - DustFormsWords (talk) 02:24, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Comment - I'm unsure what the standards are for musical instrument notability, but there's a whole paragraph(!) describing a dorophone here. VernoWhitney (talk) 16:30, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmmm... that page says "a special kind of string instrument the artist has been developing since 2004, ... The dorophone is an electric-acoustic stringed instrument in a wooden box which obtains its sound from feedback. An electromagnetic pickup senses the vibration of the strings and sends the sound back into the box thus creating a special sound."
 * It is not clear that the Iceland Review page is even talking about the same instrument as the Wikipedia article, which says a dorophone is a "type of xylophone" played on Steely Dan's 1975 album, Katy Lied. __ Just plain Bill (talk) 18:29, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
 * My mistake for not actually reading the source. In that case, I'm turning up nothing in reliable sources other than proof that it exists, but nothing beyond that which is insufficient for an article (since we can't even answer "how is it different from any other xylophone?"), so Delete VernoWhitney (talk) 18:47, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
