CONCERTO ITEMS
Outdoor musical equipment that lets kids of all abilities share the joy and benefits of creating music.

When struck with the attached rubber mallets, the Vibes and Chimes play sustained notes that engage kids’ senses with vibrations they can hear and feel. Both instruments are tuned on a diatonic scale, which helps kids learn to play real songs with accurate musical notes. Spinning Cabasas produce a metallic rattle that ranges in frequency according to each drum’s size. Kids can also keep the rhythm going on the Congas, which feature different diameters and lengths, giving each drum its own distinctive tone.
