Full Description

Perfect For Ensemble Playing

Noted for its bright sound, the xylophone is suited for use in symphony orchestras and chamber ensembles, as well as classrooms. The Gear4music xylophone has 3 octaves; a range well suited to use in concert performances, and one that will fit neatly into any tutoring environment.

The use of Mahogany yields a deep and complex tone, thanks to the grain and density of the tonewood. For a smooth sound that can fill up a room as well as carry itself among an ensemble the mahogany Xylophone by Gear4music is a versatile instrument with a wealth of tone and character.

Hand-Crafted For Variety Of Tones

A variety of tones can be produced by each of the hand-crafted mahogany tonebars that create a resonant and toneful sound suitable for percussion enthusiasts. If you are after very fast runs and passages to compliment a stirring section, hit the ends of the bars for a more suitable timbre.

Easy To Transport/Assemble

The Gear4music Xylophone is easy to transport, thanks to a durable carry case that will help get your instrument to theatre pits, rehearsal spaces and classrooms with minimal fuss. Also included is a metal stand that allows you position the instrument at a comfortable playing height.

Mallets

As well as this, the xylophone comes with a pair of mallets so you have everything you need to get playing straight away. Different types of mallet will generate different sounds - two hard mallets will create a dry character, whereas softer rubber mallets produce muted chords with a soft, warm tone. The 3 Octave Xylophone by Gear4music provides you with a pair of hard mallets which are great for both practice and ensemble work.
