- Bright Sustain Tonal Quality: Clear, ringing metallophone tone that carries well outdoors and encourages musical exploration.
- Anodized Aluminum Construction: Weather-resistant and vandal-resistant material built for long-term outdoor use with minimal maintenance.
- Multiple Mount Types: Available in Inground, Surface Mount, Portable, and Wall Mount configurations for maximum installation flexibility.
- Flexible Height Options: Freestanding units stand 46-5/8" tall (post can be cut down for shorter installations); wall mount version can be installed at any height for universal accessibility.
- Includes Two Mallets: Comes with (2) MA-80BLK-22 mallets so it's ready to play right out of the box.

- C Major Diatonic Scale: A universally harmonious scale - every note sounds good together, so there are no wrong notes.
Mount Type Options & Which to Choose
- Inground: A post is set directly into the ground with concrete - the most permanent and secure installation. Best for parks, playgrounds, and outdoor recreation areas where a fixed, vandal-resistant setup is needed long-term.
- Surface Mount: The post is anchored to a concrete pad or hard surface using a surface flange. Ideal for areas where digging is not possible, such as concrete plazas, patios, or paved play areas.
- Portable: A freestanding base allows the instrument to be moved as needed. Great for events, temporary installations, indoor/outdoor multi-use spaces, or facilities that need flexibility.
- Wall Mount: Mounts directly to any wall surface, keeping the footprint small and accessible at any height. Perfect for preschools, sensory rooms, therapy spaces, or any indoor or covered outdoor wall.

FAQ
What is the difference between Inground and Surface Mount?
Inground mounting sets the post directly into the ground with concrete for the most permanent and secure installation - ideal for parks and playgrounds. Surface Mount uses a flange bolted to an existing hard surface like concrete or asphalt, which is a great option when digging is not practical or permitted.
Is the Harmony Hive suitable for all ages?
Yes! The Harmony Hive is designed to be accessible and enjoyable for children and adults alike. The C Major Diatonic tuning means every note harmonizes with every other note, so there are no wrong combinations. The wall mount version can be installed at any height to accommodate toddlers through adults, including wheelchair users.
How durable is this instrument for outdoor use?
The Harmony Hive is built from anodized aluminum, which is highly resistant to corrosion, UV damage, and heavy everyday use. It is specifically engineered for permanent outdoor installation in parks, playgrounds, and public spaces, and requires minimal maintenance over its lifespan.
Can the post height be adjusted?
Yes - for freestanding installations, the post can be cut down to achieve a shorter installation height. This makes it easy to customize the instrument's playing height for younger children or specific accessibility requirements.
Does it come with mallets?
Yes, the Harmony Hive includes two MA-80BLK-22 mallets so it is ready to play upon installation. Replacement mallets are also available if needed over time.
Is professional installation required?
Installation requirements vary by mount type. Inground and surface mount versions typically require basic groundwork or concrete work. A detailed Installation Guide is available for download on this page to assist your facilities team or contractor.
