Auris 7 Tone Pentatonic Glockenspiel (KPQ)
Auris is located in the heart of the Waldorf world in beautiful Järna, south of Stockholm. They are renowned for their quality musical instruments.
This pentatonic 7 tone glockenspiel is fully harmonious, meaning that it will make wonderful sounding music by children, no matter what the song. It is therefore a perfect instrument for use in home and early childhood education settings. It also makes an excellent instrument for musical games and storytelling.
This pentatonic AURIS-Glockenspiel produces heavenly, harmonic melodies. The basic pentatonic scale enables mixing tones in any combination while still sounding pleasant. Tuned to 432 Hz, a pitch recommended by ear physicians and Waldorf education founder Rudolf Steiner for its relaxing and energizing effects, the brass alloy bars create an amazing, golden sound.
The bars are protected with a thin wax coating that allows polishing if the metal becomes tarnished. We wish you lots of joy making beautiful music with your new AURIS-Glockenspiel!
