Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Lyons’ diatonic alto metallophone places a C4-to-A5 range on hand-lathed, hand-tuned aluminum bars over a chambered wood box. The note name on each bar is engraved at the top, providing a clear visual reference when students are learning parts. Included F#4, Bb4, and F#5 add-on bars enable C, F, and G major, and two bell mallets come with the instrument for immediate classroom use.
Strong match
Who this is for
