Rosewood bar; pitch G; tuned to A=440, the industry standard.
Bar is also overtone-tuned (first dominant overtone tuned to the fundamental note).

Black tuning plate under the bar allows for slight adjustments in tuning.
A good substitute for timpani in the classroom instrumentarium.
Description
Traditional Orff-Schulwerk style individual bar; this bar sounds two octaves below "middle" G (the octave below a traditional Orff bass xylophone). Care for this instrument as you would for fine furniture - protect from heat and temperature changes, and clean the bar two to three times per year with a high-quality furniture polish (preferably with a lemon oil base). Mallet not included.
