This wooden marimba is handcrafted from Swedish Pine wood and has 6 European Acacia wood notes in a pentatonic scale and includes a pair of rubber mallets to produce a full, rich sonorous sound. Marimbas are great for introducing young children and babies to rhythm, being played with two mallets, and are wonderful for bringing atmosphere to storytelling time.

An instrument much loved in Waldorf Steiner schools for their harmonious and therapeutic qualities. This baby marimba has the 6 note keys in pentatonic scale D, E, G, A, B, D, made from European Acacia wood on rubber to give a full, rich sonorous sound.
