Studio 49 Orff Metallophone

Sustained metal bars for Orff ensembles

The metallophone gives the Orff ensemble its sustained voice, with thick aluminium bars over a resonator box and the same removable-bar system as the wooden instruments.

  • Studio 49

    Studio 49 was founded in Munich in 1949 to build the instruments Carl Orff's Schulwerk required — xylophones, metallophones, and glockenspiels with removable bars — and its instruments defined how percussion is taught to children across much of the world.
