The Sonor SSX 100 DE SMART Xylophone is a space-saving soprano xylophone with sound plates made of Palisono, a moisture-resistant fiberglass material. The 16 individually tuned bars form a C major scale with a range from c2 to a3. Alternatively, with the enclosed f#2, bb2 and f#3 sound plates, other scales can be formed, e.g. F major or G major. The additional tone plates can be stored in the resonance box itself to save space; a flap on the side of the resonance box makes this possible. This space-saving design philosophy also extends to the rest of the instrument. For example, there are mounts on the sides for the fold-out feet, so that several baton sticks can be stacked without the instruments slipping or the sound plates being stressed. A pair of Sonor SCH32 rubber head mallets is also included.
With the new SMART series SONOR sets innovative standards in sound, functionality and design. Everyday life with Orff instruments is made noticeably easier. The instruments impress with their easy transportability, an integrated storage compartment, a break-proof peg system for attaching the sound plates, fold-out feet and a stacking function. At the same time, the compact baton instruments offer optimum playing comfort and an inspiring sound experience thanks to precisely tuned sound plates in proven SONOR quality and scientifically optimized resonance chambers. The acronym SMART stands for: Stackable; Mobile and Multifunctional; Acoustically Optimized; Refined and Space-Saving; Top Design and Transportable.
