- Classroom groups where each player holds one pitch
- Music therapy and early childhood pitch work

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting a full chromatic range from one pack

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 by length
Pitch comes from tube length, so shorter tubes read higher. Nothing to tune or maintain.
Detail 03
Hollow plastic tubes
Survives being dropped, hit and handled by kids. No skin, shell or hardware to damage.
Detail 04
Struck against a surface
Tone changes with what you strike: hand, floor, thigh. Harder surfaces give more attack and volume.
Detail 05
Complete set
Every pitch in the octave is present, so a group can play full melodies without gaps.

Know before you order
- 01No mallets, caps or storage bag mentioned — plan to store them yourself

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What octave does this cover?
The upper octave. If you want the range below it, you need a separate lower-octave set.
02Do they come tuned?
Yes. Pitch is set by the length of each tube and does not drift or need adjusting.
03How do you play them?
Strike the tube against a hand, thigh, floor or table. The surface you hit changes attack and volume.
04Are these durable enough for a classroom?
They are hollow plastic with no skins or hardware, so they hold up to dropping and repeated handling.
