Suzuki's metal horn soprano with removable tone plates. It is characterized by a long, clear tone.
You can easily attach and remove the tone plates without using any tools, so you can easily enjoy a variety of sound combinations. Great for music education in kindergartens, elementary schools, special needs schools, etc., children's educational instruments, and music therapy!
Even if your child is confused about which sounds to choose to create music, by leaving only the sounds they need, they can create music with their free imagination! If you leave only "do", "mi", "fa", "so", "shi", and "do", you can create an Okinawan atmosphere, or if you select "mi", "so", "la", "shi", "re", and "mi" and play them, you will get a sound similar to a children's song or folk song.
If you use the 16-note set's 3-note derived tone board (f♯2, b♭2, f♯3), you can also play songs in G major (E minor) and F major (D minor).
It's compact and easy to move and install, and if you use the special stand (sold separately), it's even more convenient to stand up and move! The height of the stand is adjustable, so you can comfortably play according to the height of the children.
