The Giant Chimes create an attractive focal point within a Sensory Area or an interesting, striking addition along a pathway creating an enjoyable musical journey.
Tuned to the notes CDEGAC, they produce a deeper, more resonant tone when struck with your hand than the standard Chimes and children can experience the sensation of vibration using more than the sense of ‘hearing’. Children can create sounds by moving along the chimes, so they encourages children to be physically active as they explore the range of music vibrating from this giant percussion instrument.
Therefore, the Giant Chimes have a wide appeal and are a great inclusive addition to your sensory area. Standing at up to 2.2 metres tall (above the ground) the Giant Chimes are both impressive and exciting.
Giant Chimes feature in the sensory area at Valence Primary School, where interactive musical play was a key part of the brief.
