I always thought it would be neat to do a theater tour in Europe.. always get to a few when we travel but having that as a focus would be fun .. might be a while though...

What is this Wacky-Looking Room Tuning Device?

Its a diffusor , used to break up reflections and redirect high frequency energy for clearer highs with better details ...
Really good if early reflections are a problem due to seating position ...!
It would only deal with high frequency given the small diameter ... a mix of diameters would work better ... I like the varied height .. theoretically it would scatter some reflections upwards and out of the listening plane

Probably it is from Acoustic Grove System, "AGS"
Those are what @ddk posted, I find the principle very, very interesting. Glad to know from him that it works
It certainly makes lots of sense, nothing sounds more natural than being in a forest.
Also, check out the graphs on their website, they also work for the low frequencies.
The question is how many of them do you need to get optimum results, I entertain the idea of having a "zen-like" living room, to integrate some of those products naturally, without the room looking like a torture chamber. A combination of those in the first reflection points + 2x PSI AAVA C20 could be quite something. The idea of achieving a flat bass response without compromising the liveliness of the room is quite attractive IMO.

I guess the simple answer to your question is, depends on the room and budget.Probably it is from Acoustic Grove System, "AGS"

As you can see in the pictures the listening room I was in was heavily treated on all surfaces and quite large. What you don’t see are the absorption panels on all surfaces behind the grove. You can’t get away from the torture chamber aesthetic if that’s your goal they’re just as industrial in look and feel as any of their counterparts. Sonically they have a lot of potential but really need them to handle the installation.

In Rons picture you can see the sticks are right in line with possible deep bass absorbing panels behind them.
Also, others seem to have touched on this. A xylophone is tuned pieces of wood. Those dowl length could very well correspond to keys. They may boost or draw down certain notes. They may also act more like Synergistic bells and vibrate making a behind you reverb affect.

Makes lots of sense. I'm sure that an equilibrium between good sound and cozy living room can be found without going full vietnam jail, of course not as good as the "life sentence treatment" but better than nothing. Certainly this is something that I'll be investigating for my home in the next months, quite interesting stuff.
Ah, the Shakti Hallographs. Had some at RMAF shows in our rooms back in the day to help the acoustics. Yes, you could hear them in the room, they changed the presentation depending on where they sat. Was it better? To my ears it was just different. A really nice potted plant does the same thing and is nicer.
