How to play
Tap a bar, or drag across the bars for a glissando. Tap the mallet or frame to play a scale.
Notes
Each bar's length sets its note: the shorter the bar, the higher it sounds. The name comes from the Greek for “wood” and “sound”.
This splash one has eight colored bars, a scale from C up to the next C. Tap a bar and the mallet swings over and strikes it, and the bar jumps and plays its note, so you can play a tune. Tap the mallet, a wheel or the ends of the frame instead, and it plays the whole scale. Drag along the bars for a run of notes, called a glissando.
