Unpitched Percussion
Get ready to explore a fun collection of three Bug-Beats, each bursting with vibrant colors and decreasing in size as you go!
These playful "bugs" produce lively sounds that will spark young imaginations while they discover the wonders of nature.
Hear each chord below:
- Flower Beetle (Large): Black and White Body / Red Wings - Play Sound
- Honey Beetle (Medium): Yellow Body / Green Wings - Play Sound
- Leaf Beetle (Small): Red Body / Purple Wings - Play Sound
Each "Bug" features wings made from strong, reinforced hollow polymer, designed like temple blocks, and equipped with notches to create a sensory, ridged surface. As idiophones, they produce sound through the instrument's vibration, with each block's internal space serving as a resonating chamber. When you strike these colorful blocks with a mallet, they generate a fun, loud, echoing sound. Additionally, you can scrape the mallet along the notches to create a ratchet sound similar to that of a güiro. Bug Beats can be mounted on a stainless-steel post or installed using fittings that can be retrofitted to our existing instruments, play equipment, fences, or walls.
