Musical Playground Equipment: Eye Chimes

Sensory Playground Equipment: Eye Chimes

Eye Chimes are simple yet stunning, sensory musical playground equipment - in both their towering appearance and their low resonant sounds. They will truly surprise you with their tonal depth and richness - listen to the growth of the sound, starting softly with the smallest tap the sound will grow louder with each subsequent hit of the mallet. School playground equipment with a powerful vibe.

Listen to Eye Chimes:

  

The seven Outdoor Musical Eye Chimes are made of 100mm diameter heavy-duty aluminium tube and range in height from 1.4m to 2.7m.  The chimes can be struck anywhere along the tube to create a very loud and powerful sound which lingers long after the fundamental sound has ceased.

You will notice how the sound from the Outdoor Musical Eye Chimes changes as the tubes get longer with the longest chime producing a sound so deep you can actually feel it - making a truly multi-sensory experience!  All our eye chimes are tuned to the pentatonic scale in c major.  Pentatonic is a scale of five notes which allows players to create and invent harmonious sounds without struggling with 'wrong' notes or dissonant chords.

The Outdoor Musical Eye Chimes can be bought individually, however for maximum sound effect the chimes should be kept together in a horseshoe shaped arrangement to enable the player to experience a ‘surround sound’ effect.  This arrangement works well for players using a wheelchair as they can access all of the chimes easily and create a resonance they can feel.

Depending on how much space you have available, this School Playground Equipment can be installed directly into the ground or supplied with a timber base.

Outdoor Musical Eye Chimes are supplied with two durable mallets, made to withstand the outdoor elements of the British weather, that are attached to the instrument with coated steel cables.

This Outdoor Musical Instrument has been inspected by The Play Inspection Company who have confirmed its compliance with EN1176, the European Standard for Playground Equipment.
