Wooden playful xylophone

Various sounds produced by nature. I made a safe and secure toy that supports a child's rich imagination and curiosity. I received a mysterious xylophone from Oak Village that plays different tones even though the keyboard length is the same. Speaking of xylophones that adults imagine, that xylophone plays Doremi with the difference in keyboard length in the music room. This small forest choir Kiso plays the scale with the difference of tree species. Because it is composed of the Japan-specific Yona omission scale (six sounds of "Do Les Mi so La do" often used in Japanese nursery rhymes), it is possible to strike any sound in the order you wish It will be a pleasant melody. Children's free playing will make a wonderful melody that sounds unexpected.

Safety

It is unpainted by domestic wood use and is a safe and secure wooden toy. While the craftsman confirms the sound, I cut the back little by little and match the pitch of each one. The brand name of the brand is branded on all the soundboards, but because the natural wood is used, the arrangement of the soundboards will change depending on the time of production. The body has a structure with a sense of stability so that it can be placed on the floor or desk and struck. Because it has a handle, as well as carrying, storage is also possible hanging on the wall. Because the groove to place the bee is processed at an angle, the bee will not fall even if it is hung on the wall.

Music is never too early for any age. The sound of wood that I felt when I was a child will continue to be heard in my mind.

Commitment to Natural Materials

Oak Village (Oak Village) is making things that live in the same time as the years it took to grow trees, and make things that are common, with the concept "making trees that have been grown 100 years old usable for 100 years". Founded in 1974 in Hida Takayama, the brand has continued to propose to realize a sustainable recycling society with renewable resources called trees. Nearly 70% of Japan is a forest. In order to make effective use of its resources, Oak Village (Oak Village) is committed to using domestic lumber harvested from artificial forests and secondary forests, and uses all solid wood "solid wood". Forests that have been used once have lost their ecosystem, so if you don't care, the forests and forests will be ruined more and more. Thinning, properly cutting trees, and adding a few hands is important for maintaining the health of the forest.

A wide range of products that use “from chopsticks to buildings” and trees use a traditional construction method that does not use nails, selecting a tree in the right place and using it in a suitable manner. Just as people have different personalities and attractions, each tree has its own individuality. In order to make use of its individuality and shine, it is not synthetic paint, but uses natural oil and lacquer, and craftsmen finish it carefully. Those made while feeling the breath of trees are born from the desire to make things that will be loved for a long time.

Oak Village (Oak Village) has launched a non-profit organization, The Acorn Association, with the idea that "If you get one tree from the mountain, let's return one tree." We advocate "one child, acorn grain" and call on the participation of general people widely, raise acorns at home, plant tree planting activities to the mountain, pruning secondary forest, undergrowth, etc. Actively working.
