Upright Piano Petrof P121 MD Discovery Series

The Goldon 11200 xylophone is an instrument designed to introduce music in a clear, safe, and musically consistent way, maintaining a strong connection with the European tradition of building pedagogical instruments. With a range from B to G and a simple diatonic arrangement, this xylophone creates an immediate point of contact between gesture and sound, inviting rhythmic and melodic exploration from the very first touch.

The thirteen maple wood blades offer a warm, defined, and balanced timbre, with a quick response that helps to easily understand the relationship between pitch, intensity, and articulation. Maple is a wood recognized for its stability and acoustic properties, ensuring sound consistency throughout the register, allowing you to play simple melodies clearly and effortlessly.

The spruce base contributes to a natural sound projection, adding body and presence without making the instrument excessively noisy, making it suitable for use at home, in school settings, or in more controlled pedagogical environments.

The Goldon 11200 includes two carefully balanced beaters, designed to extract the best sound from the blades without being aggressive. This combination promotes comfortable playing and helps develop motor coordination, rhythmic precision, and active listening. The diatonic scale reduces initial complexity, avoiding dissonant notes and creating a safe space to experiment with patterns, accompany songs, or work on basic rhythm and melody exercises.

The xylophone occupies a special place in the history of tuned percussion instruments. Present in different cultures for centuries, it has evolved as an effective means of musical learning by allowing one to visualize and hear the organization of notes immediately. This characteristic remains relevant today, especially in music education, where the simplicity of the instrument facilitates the understanding of fundamentals without compromising musicality.

Goldon has been manufacturing musical instruments in Markneukirchen since 1936, a German region with a long tradition linked to instrument making. Initially dedicated to recorders, the brand has expanded its catalog to include educational instruments that prioritize quality, durability, and suitability for teaching. The Goldon 11200 reflects this path, combining selected materials, careful manufacturing, and a clear focus on musical learning through hands-on experience.

For those looking for a reliable, well-built xylophone with a natural sound, the Goldon 11200 is a solid choice. It encourages the intuitive discovery of music, respecting the ear, rhythm, and the pleasure of playing, with the guarantee of quality from German manufacturing.
