The Playground Metallophone is an outdoor musical instrument featuring 15 color-coded metal keys, each tuned to a specific note. The color coding helps kids identify individual notes and start learning patterns, while the 15-key range is wide enough to play recognizable songs. Designed for ages 2-12, it is built from steel with a weather-resistant finish and requires no mallets -- the attached beaters stay with the instrument. A hands-on music experience that holds up to commercial outdoor use.
BEST FOR: Inclusive playgrounds, school music gardens, and parks looking for a melodic instrument that teaches musical concepts through hands-on play for ages 2-12.
Fifteen keys give the Playground Metallophone enough range that kids can play actual songs on it, not just random notes. The color coding on each key helps younger children identify and remember individual notes, which turns free play into something closer to a music lesson without anyone having to teach. I have watched kids figure out "Mary Had a Little Lamb" on these within a few minutes just by experimenting.
The attached beaters are a smart design choice for a public installation. Loose mallets disappear within a week at any park I have ever worked with. With the beaters tethered to the instrument, the metallophone is always ready to play when a kid walks up to it. The steel construction and weather-resistant finish are built for years of outdoor exposure, and the instrument stays in tune through temperature swings and heavy use.
CAPACITY: Contact for details, ages 2-12 Years.
