C6–C7 Diatonic Scale
The Butterfly is a charming outdoor musical instrument designed to captivate young learners and families. Its colorful, nature-inspired design and soothing tones make it perfect for early years settings, libraries, and family attractions. Built to last and easy to play, the Butterfly encourages sensory exploration, creativity, and inclusive musical fun.
How It Works
Resembling the iconic Monarch butterfly - renowned for its incredible multi-generational migration and vital role as a pollinator and environmental health indicator - the Butterfly hides a musical surprise within its wings. Each of the four wings conceals a pair of bells arranged in parallel fifths: Wing 1: E6 & B6 | Wing 2: F6 & C7 | Wing 3: D6 & A6 | Wing 4: C6 & G6
Together, these eight notes form a C6–C7 diatonic scale. Players activate the bells by gently pressing or pushing the wings, creating bright, resonant tones that invite intuitive, hands-on play without the need for mallets.
