OQAN QPP-25 - 25 Note Children's Chromatic Chime
The OQAN QPP-25 chromatic glockenspiel is the perfect instrument for introducing young children to music. Designed specifically for intuitive and fun learning, this 25-note glockenspiel spans two full octaves, allowing children to explore a wide range of melodies and musical concepts from their earliest stages. Its metal bars, which produce a clear and in-tune sound, are painted in bright and eye-catching colors—a pedagogical system that facilitates the identification of natural notes and accidentals (sharps and flats), transforming theoretical learning into a visual and practical experience.
Built with durable, child-safe materials, the OQAN QPP-25 is designed to withstand enthusiastic use. It comes in a practical and sturdy hard plastic case that not only protects the instrument from bumps and dust but also makes it easy to transport. This case features an ingenious resonance groove in its base, designed to amplify the sound naturally without the need for a wooden soundboard, producing a rich and pleasing tone. Two plastic mallets are included, ready to play right out of the box.
