Emil Richards bought these tuned log drums in the late 1970s from Michael Udow, an instrument craftsman from Michigan, who brought them to display at PASIC. During recording sessions, some composers would give Emil creative license to add them to the music if he heard a good place for them. Having a set available that was chromatic and in western tuning allowed them to be scored with other orchestral instruments.
