Sonor Palisono (Fiberglass) Tenor-Alto Diatonic Xylophone

Orff-Schulwerk style tenor-alto xylophone. Sonor calls this middle instrument the "tenor-alto" since it features an extended range of two octaves (most Orff instruments are 1.75 octaves). An instrument with fiberglass bars is an especially good choice for humid climates, since the fiberglass bars are not affected by temperature or humidity changes. The resonator box is made entirely of wood to ensure true resonance and clarity of sound, and features holes to store your mallets when not in use and a bar storage holder to hold F# and Bb bars when not in use. Dimensions of the resonator box are approximately 33.25" long x 8.88" high x 7.75" wide at the widest point, and 4.63" wide at the narrowest point. With the bars on, the widest point is approximately 10.75" (the length of the low C bar).

• Premium Palisono fiberglass bars for stable intonation: Overtone-tuned to A=440 with rosewood-like resonance, but fiberglass is humidity/temperature resistant so pitch stays consistent year-round.
• Two full octaves for more players: Diatonic C1–C3 range with F# and Bb (19 bars) gives extra space and flexibility for Orff ensembles and group playing.
• Solid wood resonator + mallets included: Built on a solid wood resonator box and includes one pair of Sonor SCH11 felt mallets.
