The Psagot Playgrounds Melody Drum is a steel tongue drum with 6 tuned tongues that produce melodic notes, not just beats. The drum body acts as a resonator, creating deep, sustained tones. A gentle tap is all it takes. Ages 2-12, 3 children, powder-coated steel.
BEST FOR: Musical gardens and sensory areas that want a melodic percussion instrument introducing tonal music to children ages 2-12 through simple, intuitive play.
Most playground drums are rhythm instruments. The Psagot Playgrounds Melody Drum is a melodic one. Its 6 tuned tongues each produce a specific note, and when you tap them in sequence, you get actual scales and melodies rather than just a beat. That distinction matters if you want kids to learn something about music rather than just hitting things. The tapping motion is gentle and intuitive, so even the youngest kids can get musical results right away.
The drum body acts as its own resonator, which gives each note a deep, sustained tone that carries well in outdoor spaces. Three kids can play simultaneously, which leads to some interesting collaborative moments. The powder-coated steel construction is built for permanent outdoor installation and handles weather without losing its tuning.
CAPACITY: 3 children simultaneously, ages 2-12.
FALL HEIGHT: Contact us for fall height specifications.
MATERIALS: Powder-coated steel with tuned metal tongue elements.
