Wind Pipes

The three at ground level integrated see-saw beams can be moved independently from each other. Due to the movement of the beams, the air pressure which is required for playing the pipes is produced. By means of shifting the weight or moving from one beam to, different simple sequences of notes are produced. Six different notes are possible. Children enjoy very much making “music” with the whole body or producing “beautiful” (dreadful) sequences of notes by using the see-saw effect of the beams.

Fundamental characteristics:

• Unique and original
• Combination of see-sawing and experience of sound
• Incentive for playing: surprising element on the ground
• Movement: shifting ones weight

Suitable:

• For all age groups
• Public playgrounds
• Children´s institutions, institutions for people with special needs, pedestrian areas, parks, leisure areas

Note:

Due to the sound volume, the location of equipment in residential areas has to be chosen carefully
