A SONOR legacy, between toy and real instrument
At SONOR, tuning quality makes all the difference: the
SAFARI glockenspiel has been designed to awaken the ears of the youngest children while meeting the criteria of a study instrument. This requirement puts the metal chime back at the heart of an authentic musical approach, far beyond a simple introductory toy.
Who is it for, and what is it for?
Ideal for
musical awakening, nurseries, schools, and parent-child workshops, the SAFARI accompanies first songs, listening games, and the exploration of pitches. Its
Boomwhackers color code allows children to quickly replay melodies, promoting autonomy and immediate success.
Key features
The bars, securely attached to a
soft felt base, offer a clear and stable response. The chime
rolls up and stores in a handy box; when on the move, this box becomes a
small drum to vary the timbres and enrich rhythmic activities. The
SAFARI design adds a narrative and adventurous dimension to each session.
