Key Features
32-Note Bell Keyboard
The 2.5-octave range from F5 to C8 covers all standard beginning band repertoire while providing room for growth into intermediate-level music. The precisely tuned bars produce clear, bright tones that help students develop accurate pitch recognition and listening skills.
Wide Tone Bars
The 1-inch wide bars accommodate the developing coordination of young students, reducing missed strikes and building confidence during practice sessions. This thoughtful design feature helps beginners focus on musicality rather than struggling with overly narrow targets.
Tunable Practice Pad
The integrated practice pad allows students to work on stick control, rudiments, and rhythm exercises without the volume of bells. The tunable design lets students and teachers adjust the rebound characteristics to match their playing style and skill development.
Professional-Quality Accessories
