Technical Details of the Sonor SXP 1.1 Primary Soprano Xylophone

The Sonor SXP 1.1 Primary Soprano Xylophone features a precisely tuned range from C2 to A3 and includes 16 carefully crafted bars. The C major scale is supplemented by additional semitones (F#2, B2, and F#3), allowing for initial experiments with modes and keys—a major advantage for use in schools and educational settings.

The bars are made of Pao Rosa, an African hardwood prized for its excellent acoustic properties.

The package includes a pair of SCH 11 mallets, which are specially tuned to the tonal characteristics of the Pao Rosa sound bars. They guarantee optimal response and tone development without damaging the bars.
