Auris Pentatonic Glockenspiel, 7-Tone Straight

This straight-bodied pentatonic glockenspiel by Auris features a maple resonating body and beeswax-finished brass tone bars, offering a warm, mellow sound well suited for young children.

Handcrafted in Sweden, this Auris pentatonic glockenspiel is tuned to the five-note pentatonic scale (D–E–G–A–B–D–E), a musical system that naturally avoids dissonance. No matter how it is played, the tones blend gently and harmoniously, making this instrument ideal for early musical exploration in Waldorf-inspired homes, homeschools, and classrooms.

The straight-sided maple body produces a softer, more mellow tone than Auris’ curved glockenspiels and is especially comfortable for small hands. Its stable shape rests securely on laps and tabletops, allowing young children to explore sound with confidence and ease. Brass alloy tone bars are hand-coated with beeswax to protect their natural finish and support clear, rounded overtones. The maple wood body is similarly finished with beeswax, reflecting Auris’ commitment to natural materials and longevity.

Designed for Early Childhood and Lap Play

This straight-bodied glockenspiel is often chosen for younger children and for situations where the instrument will be held rather than placed on a table. Parents and educators also appreciate its gentle tone for storytelling, rest time, and quiet musical moments.
