Chromatic Mallet Harp: Deluxe 12-Tone Xylophone (25 and 32-note models)

Description

The Chromatic Mallet Harp: Deluxe 12-Tone Xylophone is a professional acoustic mallet percussion instrument with the quintessential Mallet Harp sound. Featuring a full piano/keyboard layout which spans 2 full octaves, the Chromatic Mallet Harp is conducive to playing any music using western harmony, including, but not limited to:

• Playing from sheet music
• Playing popular songs with standard chord changes
• Composing music
• Improvising over chord changes

The structure of the Chromatic Mallet Harp places the sharp/flat notes in an upper row, above and behind the natural notes. The sharp/flat notes (i.e. all instances of C#, D#, F#, G# and A#) are joined together into one long section (upper row), while the the natural notes (i.e. all instances of C, D, E, F, G, A and B) are joined together into another long section (lower row). The two sections fit together in a piano-like arrangement of sharps and naturals. Watch our video to see how the pieces fit together. The note range of the 25-note Chromatic Mallet Harp extends from A below middle C (A3) at the bottom, up to A5, two full octaves higher, including all notes in-between, while the 32-note version goes from A3 to E6.
