Playground Equipment Glockenspiel



The Glockenspiel brings a proper tuned percussion instrument to the playground. Each metal bar is mounted securely inside the frame, and the included polyethylene mallets are attached so they cannot walk off or get stolen. Kids ages 2-12 can play recognizable melodies right away, which is more than you can say for most outdoor instruments. The whole thing fits inside a 23"H x 27"L x 18"W use zone -- about the size of a small side table. Meets ASTM F1487 and CPSC #325 safety standards.

BEST FOR: This works well as an add-on to an existing playground, or grouped with other musical instruments to create an outdoor music garden. Schools like it because kids can pick out simple songs. It is also a strong choice for inclusive playgrounds since it is ground-level and accessible from a wheelchair.

What Makes the Playground Equipment Glockenspiel Stand Out?

What sets the Glockenspiel apart from most playground instruments is that kids can play actual melodies, not just bang on things. The tuned bars produce clear, distinct notes, so a child who knows "Mary Had a Little Lamb" can play it on the first try. That kind of immediate success keeps kids coming back.

The attached mallets are a smart design choice. I have seen plenty of outdoor instruments lose their strikers within the first week. These polyethylene mallets are tethered to the frame, so they are always there when a child walks up. The steel frame and weather-resistant construction mean this holds up through years of New Jersey winters and summers.
