1888 T. Machell in Proc. Philos. Soc. Glasgow 1887–8 19 361 This instrument, which I have named ‘The Dulcitone’, has a compass of 44 notes, F to C, and has been designed to meet the want now generally felt of a portable, keyboard, percussion instrument... The sound-producers are square rods or bars of steel, bent to the form of tuning forks (without shanks), the forks being of graduated lengths for the various musical notes.

1970 R. Smith Brindle Contemp. Percussion 63 The dulcitone, as its name suggests, is soft and sweet, with a bell-like sound not unlike the celesta.

2018 Guardian (Nexis) 6 Apr. The dulcitone sets off the tenderness in Roberts' beautifully unworldly voice well.
