Bass Xylophone – 13 Diatonic Bars

The 051307 Bass Xylophone is the foundation voice of the hardwood line: sixteen rosewood-tone bars reaching down to C3, printed with note names and staff positions, on a resonator box of solid and 12 mm laminated birch. All the xylophones have 32 x 10 mm (Soprano and Alto) or 36 x 12 mm (Bass) sound bars with overtone or fundamental tuning.

Key Specifications

Extremely Compact, Space Saving, Easy to Carry

The instruments in the bass range are extremely compact, space saving and easy to carry. That is the quiet surprise of this model: a genuine C3 foundation instrument on a 674 mm box that still rides a classroom trolley shelf. For professional music lessons, these instruments fulfill every need — high quality bars combined with complex resonance chambers in the alto and bass ranges always produce ample volume and rich, strong sound.

Two Bar Widths on One Instrument

Look along the 051307’s bar row and you will see something the soprano and alto models do not have: two bar profiles working together. The six deepest bars are 36 × 10 mm; the upper ten are 32 × 8 mm:

• Mass where the low notes live: the deepest six pitches get the thicker 36 × 10 mm profile, putting physical mass exactly where long wavelengths need it
• Consistent response above: from the seventh bar up, the 32 × 8 mm profile keeps articulation light and even across the middle of the range
• One voicing, no hot spots: matched fundamental tuning across both profiles means the C3–A4 scale speaks with one character instead of two
• Same classroom system: the mixed bars still carry carved note names and staff positions, and the add-on F-sharp and B-flat bars still travel in the cloth bag

The Bass Role: Root Notes That Hold the Room

Every Orff arrangement stands or falls on its foundation, and the 051307 supplies it without demanding space in return:

• Bordun and root-note work: open fifths and octaves on the deepest bars anchor student ensembles the way a double bass anchors an orchestra
• Playable by the youngest hands: big targets, slow decay and forgiving articulation make the bass bars a confident first assignment
• Room-filling fundamentals: complex resonance chambers give the C3–A4 range projection that survives a full classroom of singers
• Compact footprint: 356 mm of height instead of the floor-standing frames conventional bass bars need — storage rooms stay walkable

Applications

Product Positioning

The 051307 Bass completes the hardwood xylophone trio: the 051305 Soprano for the top register, the 051306 Alto for the melody middle, and this bass for the foundation — all three on one shared box platform, tuning system and certification set. Its signature trait is the one the catalog names directly: extremely compact, space saving and easy to carry, at a range where bass instruments are usually anything but.

It shares the production line, tuning bench and certification process with our own consumer brand Musicube — the same instrument that is already selling on the US retail market under the Musicube name.

Quality & Manufacturing

The resonator box is built from solid and 12 mm laminated birch with FSC® certified timber from well managed forests, finished in water-based paint — an environmentally safe, all-natural varnish. Hardwood bars receive the exclusive paint process for the clear and powerful sound and sit on flexible pins over multiple resonance chambers. Batch-level EN 71, ASTM F963 and GB 6675 reports are available for every shipment, issued under your brand name.

OEM / ODM: Make It Yours

• Logo: print on the birch resonator box, from low trial quantities.

• Packaging: the brown box takes a full-color sleeve, or we quote a full-color box from volume.
• FSC® claims: chain-of-custody documentation supports your sustainability labeling under your brand.
