This is a great item made well with a good mechanical method. All I know is it was made in West Germany, but certainly not recently. Ed Mishell released a similar effect c. 1970 but this set is nicer and I’m sure predates that version.
When performing this I would take all four rods out of the box as I found my fingers too big to easily take each rod out, so that could cause some delays in performance. This is always ready to go and there is nothing added or taken away.
