Sonor OrffMeisterklasse Tenor-Alto Metallophones Chromatic Add-On Only, Takm 20
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Chromatic add-on bar set for a Sonor Orff Meisterklasse tenor-alto metallophone. For classrooms that already own the diatonic instrument and need sharps and flats.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Orff classrooms expanding an existing tenor-alto metallophone to full chromatic range
- Teaching pieces that need accidentals beyond the F# and Bb bars
- Programs standardized on Meisterklasse and matching the same bar quality
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone without the matching tenor-alto Meisterklasse metallophone to add it to
- Buyers wanting a complete playable instrument out of the box
- Budget classroom setups where a diatonic set covers the repertoire
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
Tenor-alto range
The middle voice in an Orff ensemble. Sits under soprano bars and above bass, filling harmony rather than melody.
Detail 03
Metallophone bars
Metal bars ring long and sustain. Tone carries over a room in a way rosewood bars do not.
Detail 04
Meisterklasse line
Sonor's top Orff tier. Bars are tuned and finished to the same standard as the diatonic Meisterklasse instruments.
Detail 05
Chromatic set
Adds the sharps and flats, so the instrument plays in keys a diatonic setup cannot reach.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your metallophone is Meisterklasse tenor-alto — add-on frames are line and range specific
- 02No base instrument, mallets, or stand included at this price
- 03Plan bench or trolley space; the add-on sits behind the diatonic instrument
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I play this on its own?
No. It holds only the accidental bars. It is designed to sit alongside a diatonic tenor-alto metallophone, and the two are played as one instrument.
02Will it fit my soprano metallophone?
No. This is cut for the tenor-alto range. Soprano and alto instruments use a different add-on.
03Does it include mallets?
No. Mallets are sold separately, and metallophone bars usually want a softer head than xylophone bars.
04Why is an add-on this expensive?
It is a full set of tuned metal bars in a Meisterklasse frame — essentially half an instrument, built to the same standard as the diatonic set.
