MANO PERCUSSION – Tuned Colour Music Tubes (8-Piece Set)

Bring music learning to life with this vibrant set of tuned percussion tubes, designed to make rhythm and melody accessible, engaging, and fun.

Musical Range

This set includes 8 precision-tuned tubes covering a full diatonic C-to-C scale, giving students the ability to play simple songs, harmonies, and scales. Each tube produces a clear, resonant pitch when struck, making them ideal for both melody and rhythm work.

Colour-Coded for Easy Learning

Each note is colour-coded according to the widely recognised colour system used in many music education resources. This means the tubes can be directly matched to a wide range of teaching materials, notation cards, and classroom charts, supporting independent and group learning.

Educational Benefits

• Pitch & Scale Recognition: Students quickly learn the relationship between notes in a scale through hands-on play.

• Rhythm Development: The percussive nature of the tubes reinforces timing, beat, and coordination.

• Ensemble Skills: Encourages cooperation as students play together, each responsible for a different pitch.

• Inclusive & Accessible: Simple to play—no prior musical training required—making them perfect for diverse classrooms, music therapy, or special needs environments.

Durable & Classroom-Ready

Constructed from lightweight, resilient materials, these tubes are designed to withstand repeated use in busy learning environments. Their portability also makes them ideal for group performances, workshops, and outdoor activities.

Versatile Applications

• Classroom music lessons

• Music therapy sessions

With the MANO PERCUSSION Tuned Colour Music Tubes, anyone can pick up, play, and enjoy music instantly while building lasting musical foundations.
