Percussion Plus Alto Chromatic Half Xylophone - Secondhand

Full Description

Complete your xylophone

The Percussion Plus alto chromatic half adds the sharps and flats to your alto xylophone(PP025). These are located in the same position they would be found on a piano, allowing the user to perform in multiple keys. This makes the transition easier onto further instruments after the xylophone. B flat and F sharp note bars are not included as they are supplied with the diatonic xylophone set.

Designed to be played

The sound produced by the xylophone is well rounded and suited to group ensembles. The enjoyable tone and ease of playing also makes it great for classrooms. The lightweight design makes it easy to store and transport when not in use. The durable design allows for heavy hitting, another plus for educational use. Although a full sound, the xylophone can be played for long periods without causing ear fatigue.

Tuned to perfection

Operating in the alto range, the xylophone offers a large scope of frequencies for the user to explore. The note bars have been precision cut to ensure accurate tuning across the full xylophone. This becomes extremely important when performing alongside other musicians. By using a variety of beater types and playing techniques, you will realise the large range of sounds the xylophone is capable of.
