Traditional Orff-Schulwerk style individual bar; this bar sounds two octaves below "middle" G (the octave below a traditional Orff bass xylophone). The fiberglass bar is resistant to changes in temperature and humidity, so this is a good choice for humid climates or rooms that are not climate-controlled. Dust with a soft cloth as needed; care for the resonating chamber as you would for fine furniture. Mallet not included.
