These impressive outdoor chimes are the tallest in the range, with the highest tube exceeding 2.5 metres to create a striking visual and sonic presence. Six tubes are tuned to a complete C major pentatonic octave from C3 to C4, ensuring every strike produces beautiful, in-tune harmony no matter the combination. Players simply use the palm or fingertips to strike the tubes, generating soft, velvety, rich tones with lasting resonance that vibrates through the body. Harder strikes increase volume and intensity for a more immersive experience.

Accessible from every side, the design supports wheelchair users and people of all abilities, making it truly inclusive for diverse communities. Suitable from age four upwards, it encourages spontaneous play, creativity, and connection without any learning curve. The deep, felt sound fills outdoor spaces and carries well, measured at 53 dB at 50 metres up to 91 dB close by.

Robust construction withstands harsh weather, ensuring long-term performance in playgrounds, council parks, and landscape projects across New Zealand. It can also be arranged as a harmonic group of three for smaller areas while keeping the same powerful character. Ideal for creating engaging, multi-sensory environments that bring tamariki, whānau, and visitors together through music.
