The Psagot Playgrounds Metallophone is a 15-note outdoor percussion instrument spanning two octaves. Sound comes from striking round metal tubes of different lengths, so kids can see the relationship between tube size and pitch. Recycled HDPE frame, ages 2-12, 2 children at a time.
BEST FOR: Musical gardens and parks that want a familiar, easy-to-play percussion instrument covering two octaves for children ages 2-12.
Kids recognize what the Psagot Playgrounds Metallophone is before anyone explains it. The shape is universal. That instant familiarity means they walk up and start playing without hesitation, which is exactly what you want from outdoor musical equipment. The 15 metal tubes span two octaves, and because the pitch corresponds directly to tube length, kids can see why shorter tubes sound higher. That visual-to-auditory connection teaches them something about acoustics without a lesson plan.
The tuning is set up so that both deliberate melodies and random exploration produce pleasing sounds. The recycled HDPE frame resists UV and weather, and the metal tubes maintain consistent tuning through outdoor exposure. It is one of the most reliable instruments in a musical garden setup because the design is simple and there is nothing to break or lose.
CAPACITY: 2 children simultaneously, ages 2-12.
FALL HEIGHT: Contact us for fall height specifications.
MATERIALS: High-density polyethylene (HDPE) from recycled materials with tuned metal tubes.
