Xylophone Karl
Our instrument craftsman Peeter Talve had planned to make a hand-made gift for his grandson's birthday.
He wanted to make an instrument that would be educational, fun and age appropriate. Xylophone looked like a good idea.
A few weeks and prototypes later a xylophone "Karl" was born.
It's a great instrument for kids in kindergarten, pre-(music) school and throughout the whole elementary school. Great for developing concentration, co-ordination and a sense of rhythm. The best part is that the xylophone can be taken apart - every key can be played separate, that way kids can have their own key to play. This is a perfect first introduction to playing in the school orchestra.
"Karl" has 8 notes/keys and every key comes with its own soundboard and a hammer.
Xylophone is hand-crafted, made of wood and covered with linseed oil.
Phonetic features of the xylophone are developed by Peeter Talve.
