Sticcado \Stic*ca"do\, n. [Cf. It. steccato a palisade.] (Mus.)
   An instrument consisting of small bars of wood, flat at the
   bottom and rounded at the top, and resting on the edges of a
   kind of open box. They are unequal in size, gradually
   increasing from the smallest to the largest, and are tuned to
   the diatonic scale. The tones are produced by striking the
   pieces of wood with hard balls attached to flexible sticks.
