Liven up any playground with the distinct ring of the Metallophone. The 15 metal keys, each with their own unique sound, embolden creativity by inspiring special melodies. Have some energy to spare? Play quickly and loudly for all to hear. First time on the instrument? Try a soft and low tune just to get warmed up. The eye-catching colors alternate along the keys to captivate young children and spark their interest in inventive musical play. The Metallophone includes two mallets, securely attached to discourage loss or theft. The multiple mallets allow several kids to play together. Children can play solo or start a band, encouraging friendship and sharing.
