Is there a discount VIP price for the Pro Edition owners who wish to order the Glass and Stones release? I assume there should be because the Lithophone is already in the Pro Edition, or at least some articulations.

Hello jrm 1,
I'm sorry there will be no upgrade price for the Glass&Stones.
The lithophones in the Pro Edition and Glass&Stones are completely different instruments:
The Pro Edition contains the regular instrument which was introduced to the orchestra byCarl Orff - 15 small round stone slabs chromatically arranged on rubber pegs.
The lithophone recorded for Glass&Stones is a new development, modelled after the marimba: it consists of huge sound bars of serpentine (the smallest one is 17cm long, the largest 84cm!) which are equipped with resonating tubes. This lithophone has a range of nearly 5 octaves.
best,
sabine

We're trying to track it down. He actually wrote several pieces for it as did Gluck.
