Your cart is empty.Cherry wood, 7 steel plates, with mallet, range: d"-e"-g"-a"-b"-d'''-e''' (NOTE: This item is from Europe and in Europe they use an "h" instead of a "b". This is not an error but the charm of using an authentic European made instrument.) The Choroi-Glockenspiels (chimes) have been developed mainly for small children. They have a clear and balanced sound, and are excellent first percussion instruments. They are well suited to accompanying the soft tone of the children's harp. The body is made of fine cherrywood. The names of the notes are engraved on the steel bars for children that are not yet reading music notation. Size: 8" long. Depth 3-3/4 to 6" at the longer end.

When I read the previous review I was hoping she just got a defective item. After all, this is over a hundred dollars for a child's instrument (I'm using it in my first grade homeschool group). But mine also has the error. D, E, G, A, H (intead of B), D, E. I was hoping that I could use it with students who are just learning to read music, but if the key has an H engraved on it, how will that help them?Did Choroi decided to just sell their defective instruments through Amazon?

The instrument is well crafted. It’s in the pentatonic 5 note scale which means no matter which notes you hit it always sounds good and harmonizes. Many Scottish folk songs like Auld Lang Syne are written in the pentatonic scale. I gave it four stars because it comes with a mallet that I had to replace with a pair of wooden mallets to get a louder and brighter sound. (I bought a small 8 inch pair through Amazon). The notes are engraved D,E,G,A, H (which should be a B) D,E. So this is a G Pentatonic scale. FYI: Amazing Grace and Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah are written in the pentatonic scale. (The black keys on a piano are the pentatonic scale) This is not a toy - it’s a very nice little instrument.
