"Cold but warm...is how you could describe the sound of an ice trumpet carved from a 2,500 year old glacier. It's part of the orchestra of the Norwegian percussionist, Terje Isungset, who has been making his instruments out of ice for the last twenty years. He started experimenting with the sounds of stone and glass and then progressed to ice. There is a difference between natural ice and factory ice--the ice from the factories is "dead and has no sound". Even with the natural ice, some instruments have amazing tones whilst others have nothing."http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/12/ice-orchestra-isungset.php
