Outdoor Musical Instruments

Sensory and Inclusive Play Incorporating a Higher Level of Design

This playful and elegant collection of musical playground equipment lends itself to any environment. Rhapsody™ Outdoor Musical Instruments can be positioned together for jamming, or placed individually. Their solo  sounds are just as beautiful as when they are combined together.

Rhapsody Outdoor Musical Instruments are perfect additions to public spaces, playgrounds, schools, childcare settings, community centers, senior centers and other public spaces. This multi-generational activity encourages people of all abilities and ages to play and share their musical creativity, knowledge and enjoyment with one another.

Landscape Structures consulted with a skilled music consultant to ensure every outdoor musical instrument in this patent-pending collection achieves precision manufacturing and consistency in tones. Not only is the music quality excellent, so is the durability of these instruments, which can endure years of music-making in the elements.

Grandioso™ Chimes
Amateur and seasoned musicians can play two full octaves across this extravagant instrument, striking rich tones in a major key. Fully ADA accessible and inclusive, everyone can take part in experiencing the great musical quality. Multiple mallets accommodate both solo performances and playing compositions with friends.
• Chimes are made from anodized aluminum
• Choose from one of 30 ProShield® colors for arches
• Choose from one of 12 Permalene® colors for mallet holder and discs

Vivo™ Metallophone
Grab a mallet and experience all 15 lush notes on this captivating instrument. Young and not-so-young musicians can create their own music or sound out familiar tunes together. Because it’s fully inclusive, everyone gets a chance to play along.
• Tubes are made from anodized aluminum
• Choose from one of 30 ProShield® colors and two of 12 Permalene® colors

Animato™ Metallophone
The sound quality is important, and no detail is too small. For the left mallet, we designed the rubber that would optimize the note tones along the left side. Then we did the same for the right mallet. Both mallets slip easily into handy holders so they don’t have to touch the ground or dangle from the instrument. Flat bars make up the 15 major notes on this instrument, but the sound of each still resounds. Play a favorite tune or put your musical creativity together with a buddy’s and start creating your own opus.
• Bars are made from anodized aluminum
• Choose from one of 30 ProShield colors and two of 12 Permalene colors

Outdoor Musical Instruments Made to Last

The mallets are a critical part of these melodic instruments, so we manufactured them to stay in place. Attached to the instrument by coated steel cable, the mallets cannot be pulled out or cut off ensuring they are there anytime aspiring musicians want to play.

Three Ways to Drum

Nobody can resist a good drum, let alone three. Our high-quality drum skins are made from polycarbonate, sanded on the underside for a professional finish. They’ve been tested to stand up to the rigors of play and temperature extremes, yet still deliver solid tones for years into the future. While they’re intended to be played with hands, we know children…sticks are fine, too. All three are fully accessible and inclusive, welcoming the whole community to join in on the drum jam.
