These natural wooden chimes are Australian-made and make the perfect classroom resource. Young musicians can explore earthy and sensory rhythms while developing fine motor skills and an appreciation for natural materials. Unlike plastic chimes, these handcrafted wooden chimes offer a tactile experience and produce a beautifully warm and resonant sound. Constructed from sustainably sourced radiata pine and merbau, the chimes are held together with natural rope, creating an eco-friendly and aesthetically pleasing instrument. The sturdy merbau feet provide stability and require assembly with four screws, ensuring a secure base for playing. Designed for longevity, these chimes offer an engaging and educational musical experience for children.
