Rhapsody musical instruments

Music is Joy
Joy that can be heard and felt, whether it is bold or subtle, composed or random. Musical instruments offer a unique way for kids and adults to be creative and express themselves both physically and emotionally.

Rhapsody® Outdoor Musical Instruments from Landscape Structures invite kids and adults of all ages to join the band.  This superior collection of chimes, metallophones, bells and drums welcomes polished musicians and musical newbies  alike to explore the power of rhythm, experience subtle shifts in tone and discover the many ways individual sounds can be  creatively combined.

The joy of making music can be enjoyed at any age.  Standard-size Rhapsody instruments are perfect for all ages and are wheelchair accessible. Several instruments are smaller and lower to the ground, just right for kids ages 2 to 5.

Three Ways to Drum
No kid (and very few adults) can resist a good drum, let alone three. Our high-quality drum skins are made from polycarbonate, textured on the underside for a professional  finish. They’ve been tested to stand up to the rigors of play and temperature extremes, yet still deliver solid beats for years to come. While they’re intended to be played with hands, we know kids—sticks are fine, too. All three are fully inclusive,  welcoming the whole community to join in on the drum jam.
