How to use

Place the wooden frame on a flat surface at a comfortable height for the player. Hold a mallet in each hand or use a single mallet to strike the colored bells gently near the center to produce clear tones.

After use, store the mallets on or near the frame to avoid misplacement.

Usage recommendations

Use lightweight, controlled strikes to preserve the instrument’s tuning and tone quality. Supervise younger children during use to ensure safe handling of mallets and to guide correct striking technique. Clean the wooden frame with a dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid excessive moisture; wipe metal bells gently to remove fingerprints. Incorporate the bells into short, regular practice sessions to build listening, rhythm and coordination skills.
