Auris Junior Pentatonic Glockenspiel – G Major Scale

The Auris Junior Pentatonic Glockenspiel is a beautifully tuned five-note instrument designed especially for young children. With notes G, A, H (B natural), D, and E, this small glockenspiel produces a clear, gentle, shimmering sound that is pleasing to listen to and carefully balanced for younger ears. It has lead-free brass alloy bars set on an uncoated Scandinavian birch frame, with a body shape designed to soften stronger sounds while keeping the bright, resonant tone Auris is known for.

This glockenspiel is tuned to the G major pentatonic scale, using the notes G, A, B, D, and E. Pentatonic scales use five notes per octave, rather than seven, and are widely loved because the notes work beautifully together. That makes this instrument especially inviting for children, as it is easy to explore freely and create pleasing combinations of notes through simple musical play, rhythm, and repetition.

Its smooth, harmonious sound makes it a lovely choice for home music making, quiet play, storytelling, and early years settings. With one wooden-headed mallet included, it offers a clear, bell-like tone that helps children connect movement with sound while building listening skills, confidence, and early musical awareness.

Auris have been making musical instruments in Sweden for decades, with a strong focus on tone, acoustics, and natural materials. Babipur is proud to stock Auris instruments for families and settings looking for thoughtful, lasting musical tools with a beautiful sound.
