Musical and sensory panels
The M09 Musical Panel is an outdoor set of metal instruments mounted in a single steel frame. Triangles, bells, sound plates and tubular bells let children strike with a beater, compare tones and play together like an orchestra. It works well in nurseries and pre-schools, schools, public spaces and therapy practices.
Product description
The first strike of the beater sets the metal vibrating, and the vibration is heard as a tone: the bigger and longer the element, the lower it sounds; the smaller, the higher. The child hears this rule before they can name it: the triangle rings high and short, the tubular bell low and long. Striking metal goes back about five thousand years - it began in Mesopotamia and China, when people learned to work copper and bronze, and the first bells rang in temples. The panel brings the same physics to the playground: strike, vibration, tone.
The panel stands outdoors all year round, so it has to withstand rain, frost and sun. The frame is galvanised and powder-coated, the instruments are made of metals that do not rust, and the fixings are stainless steel cable. There is no electronics, speaker or power supply here: the panel plays from the first strike, just the same in May as in January. The instruments sound loudly, so if residential buildings are right next door, the location is discussed with an adviser. The equipment is covered by a warranty. The manufacturer is EduPlayground, and the panel is made in Poland.
The child compares the pitch of a tone, how long it rings and the timbre of the metal - the foundation for further music education. The same sensitivity to pitch and intonation comes into play later when learning foreign languages.
There are several instruments, so several children can play at the panel at once: one keeps the rhythm, another waits for their turn. Playing together teaches listening to others and keeping a shared tempo, because the result can only be heard when the group sounds in harmony.
At the panel there is no sheet music and no single right answer: the child makes up their own melody and decides for themselves when it sounds good. Playing needs no prior learning, so it starts from the first strike, without rehearsal or preparation.
Each instrument has a different size, a different shape and a different tone - that is where the differences you hear straight away come from.
A triangle bent from stainless steel rod rings high and short: steel gives a brighter, shorter tone than brass. Hitting the thin rod with the beater takes an accurate flick of the wrist, so it also trains hand precision and hand-eye coordination.
Upright brass tubes of different lengths sound low and long, and each has its own note. Played in turn, they form a staircase of sounds: the longer the tube, the lower it rings. A few of these tones are enough for a simple melody.
The metal plates give a deep, resonant sound, longer than the short tone of the triangle. The way you strike changes the effect: a series of quick, light taps sounds like falling rain, and a harder strike leaves a long, vibrating tone behind.
The bells ring clear and melodious: a small element vibrates faster, so it sounds short and high. They are material for short motifs to repeat: one child plays three strikes, another answers with the same - that is how the classic echo game works.
The beater hangs by the instruments on an elastic cord, so it stays in place between lessons and there is no need to look for it before each game. Play starts as soon as you walk up to the panel, with no accessories to hand out and collect.
