Description
The Cadence is an outdoor musical instrument designed to bring warm, rhythmic sound into playgrounds and public spaces. Its angled, flowing form creates a strong visual presence while inviting users to engage with music through hands-on interaction.
This system features 13 coated fiberglass bars tuned to a C major pentatonic scale, producing rich, earthy tones with a wood-like sound. The layout supports intuitive play, allowing users to explore rhythm and simple melodies without prior musical experience. It encourages coordination and timing while also supporting creative expression and inclusive play for a wide range of abilities.
Built for durability, the system uses coated fiberglass notes and a resonated base made from reinforced recycled plastic. These materials resist corrosion, UV exposure, and wear, helping maintain consistent performance over time. The resonated design also enhances tonal depth and improves sound projection in open environments.
Ideal for parks, schools, and nature-based settings, The Cadence works well as a standalone feature or as part of a larger outdoor music area. Its design encourages active engagement while promoting exploration and shared musical experiences.
