The Percussion Plus PP2172 is a popular classroom tool. If offers a small, fully chromatic instrument - C64 - E80 - with well tuned, precision made note bars configured and coloured as you would expect from a piano keyboard. Each bar has the note name engraved on it which assists in those early stages of learning to read music. The notes are mounted onto a bright red, solid wooden bass with nicely rounded corners which makes it ideal for younger children. The quantity discounts make the instrument a brilliant school or music service purchase whilst it is also great domestically as an easy way to introduce music to young children. These items are musical instruments, not toys, and are suitable for use by 3 year olds and above. It is advised that they are used with supervision as there are small parts on and in some of them.
