Percussion Plus Honestly Made Ghanaian xylophone - 10 Keys

Introducing the Percussion Plus Honestly Made Ghanaian xylophone

This Percussion Plus Honestly Made xylophone originates from Ghana and is crafted in a traditional African style. Commonly known as a balafon or balaphone, it features beautifully hand-carved wooden keys arranged in sequence on a sturdy wooden frame. The design reflects the rich musical heritage found across many regions of Africa, making it an ideal instrument for music education and classroom use.

The xylophone features dried calabash gourds hanging from the frame, which act as resonance chambers to amplify the volume and produce a characteristic, warm tone. It is available in 8 and 10 note models, both of which can be played using the two included beaters.

Each instrument is handmade using traditional materials and methods. See below for more information about the Honestly Made range of instruments from Percussion Plus.
