This 8 Key Xylophone from Ghana is great as a percussion instrument for children that allows freedom to explore and create. Handcrafted in Ghana in the traditional style of northern Ghana and Burkina Faso, this xylophone is a fully function but portable version of the instrument. The eight tones range from low to high in random succession, which combine to make interesting, "earth-tone" melodies. This Ghanaian xylophone is covered by our satisfaction guarantee, and features:
- Random low to high tuning, in keeping with use as a percussion instrument
- Heat dried keys to help maintain tonality and prevent cracking
- Solid frame construction using hardwood, leather, and rope
- Gourds under each blade to amplify and sustain sound
- Low notes rake upward to allow room for larger gourds
- Two rubber-tipped mallets included with each balafon
