Balaphone

In the Mandingo language Balaphone means "talking wood". The SCHLAGWERK Balaphone combines the rich and colourful sound of original West African instruments with European manufacturing standards. The 12 sound bars made from Padouk wood are connected to the resonance body with a rubber band, making it impossible for the bars to drop out, not even under heavy use.

Table Tubes

The eight sound tubes are swinging freely in a wooden frame. The Table Tubes can be played lying on the table or floor as well as hanging on the wall. The sound tubes are tuned to the F-major pentatonic scale, so every sequence of tones results in a melody. This is the perfect introduction into the world of music – especially for kids.
