Butterfly
C6–C7 Diatonic Scale
The Butterfly is a captivating outdoor musical instrument that combines nature-inspired design with engaging, hands-on play. Modeled on the iconic Monarch butterfly, it invites children and families to explore music through movement while encouraging curiosity about pollinators, migration, and the natural world.
Hidden within the Butterfly's colorful wings are eight bells tuned to a C6-C7 diatonic scale. Each wing contains a pair of bells arranged in parallel fifths, producing bright, resonant tones with a rich, harmonious character. Simply push or press the wings to activate the bells - no mallets required. Easy to play and visually appealing, the Butterfly encourages sensory exploration, creativity, and musical discovery for visitors of all ages and abilities.
