So, you want to play a musical instrument but have never had lessons or you don’t think you are musically inclined? Simply slide a song sheet under the strings and pluck the string above each printed note. It’s that easy! The Melody Harp is truly one of the world’s easiest and fun musical instruments to play. We have 2 Melody Harps available for checkout.

Native American Drums

We have one 12 inch Deer hide drum and two 14 inch buffalo hide drums. Each drum is made with a painted maple hoop with cross bar weaving. Each drum comes with a beater. These drums are fine musical instruments, not toys. Adult supervision is required.

Thumb Piano

The Kalimba (also known as finger or thumb piano) is an African musical instrument consisting of a wooden board with attached staggered metal tines, played by holding the instrument in the hands and plucking the tines with the thumbs. We have 2 Thumb Pianos available for checkout.

Ukulele

We have 3 Kala Ukuleles available to borrow. The ukulele is easier to learn than the guitar and other stringed instruments. Its soft nylon strings are gentler on your fingertips. The ukulele can be played by anyone, young or old. These are fine musical instruments, not toys. Adult supervision is required.
