Its eight steel tines invite curious fingers to pluck out calming melodies, spontaneous tunes, or meditative rhythms, creating a meaningful gift for musicians, makers, or anyone drawn to music's power to transformand be transformed. Crafted from the salvaged wood of old spinets and other uprights. Tuned to one octave in the key of C using the diatonic scale. Eight steel keys produce soft, resonant tones when gently plucked. A unique companion for meditation, relaxation, or musical exploration. Introduces music-making to kids and adults alike.Measures 4"L x 5.5"W x 1.375"H. Handmade in California.
