LyonsXylophone Diatonic Alto
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Lyons Diatonic Alto xylophone is arranged to make note relationships tangible in school sessions, private lessons, and practice at home. Handcrafted aged-wood bars are hand-lathed and hand-tuned, working with an all-wood chamber and metal resonators for a warm, resonant sound. Its C5–A6 diatonic layout includes F-sharp, B-flat, and high F-sharp bars, opening work in C, F, and G major. Color-coded bars help link pitch to visual patterns, while soft-core wound yarn mallets are included.
