Musical Instruments

[Tam's Tribe]

I am in the process of purchasing some musical instruments (to accompany the piano and keyboard) for the children to play with and came across these mini rainbow musical bells and thought they looked great and good fun (how much is sound proofing?!?) . . .

A set of eight miniature metal hand bells, each bell ringing a different musical note. The enclosed song sheet gives directions to play four popular nursery rhymes using colour-coded instructions on which bell to ring when. A single player could learn with practice, or a group could be given a bell or two each with a 'conductor' indicating whose turn to play - or creating musical mayhem!

I've seen those bells somewhere before (can't remember where) and they're really good.

We've got loads of musical instruments & have them out daily for our music session. We've even got small cymbols...now they are loud!

Hi - I borrowed a set of these from the toy library. The children loved them but the paint chips easily if they get clashed together, so might not look perfect for very long, but they sound good and loud.

We have loads of instruments and have added some of our own home made ones to the box. They get played with every day.....my neighbour loves it ...bless him. I like the look of the bells. Let me know what you think of them if you do buy some.

Thanks Carol - can you remember how big they were? Just a little worried as the ad said miniature . . . re the paint chip, I wonder if I can coat with something or will that affect the sound *hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm*

If you're building up your instrument collection, have you got a thunder maker? They are great, but again very loud.

Mine is like this, but a bit longer. Basically, you hold the tube & spin the wire/spring round. The harder you do it, the louder it sounds. You can start off with a little rumble, then build up into really loud thunder!

I got mine from the Works bookshop ( might be Banana Bookshop, depending where you live)

Dont know how to work the quote!!! "Thanks Carol - can you remember how big they were? Just a little worried as the ad said miniature . . . re the paint chip, I wonder if I can coat with something or will that affect the sound" by Tams Tribe

The ones I borrowed were just a nice size for a child to hold - probaby about the size of a small ruler or thereabouts - hope that helps

I got lots of lovely instruments from Works bookshop and not expensive either.
