Detail 01
Upper and lower octave sets together
Two octaves of range instead of one, so melodies that cross the octave break can be played without transposing.

What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Tuned to pitch by tube length
Pitch is fixed by the physical tube — nothing to tune, nothing that drifts, nothing that breaks out of tune.
Detail 03
Plastic tubes
They survive being dropped, thrown, and handled by children. Wipe-clean between users.
Detail 04
Color-coded by note
Players match colors rather than read music, so a group can play together on the first try.
Detail 05
Struck against a hand, floor, or surface
No mallets or sticks to lose or distribute. Volume and tone depend on what you strike.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Plan for one tube per player — a class larger than the set needs sharing
- 02Storage and a rack are not included; loose tubes scatter fast
- 03Caps that lower each tube an octave are a separate accessory
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many notes do I get?
Two full octaves — the upper and lower sets combined. That covers the diatonic notes across both, enough for most classroom melodies.
02Do kids need mallets?
No. Tubes are struck against a hand, thigh, floor, or any surface. Different surfaces change the tone and volume.
03Are these durable enough for young children?
Yes. They are plastic tubes with no moving parts, no tuning, and nothing to break. Dropping them is normal use.
04Can I play sharps and flats?
The standard sets cover diatonic notes. Chromatic tubes are sold separately if you need the notes in between.
