Choroi Parents|Wooden Toys < Pentatonic Harp – Kinder Lyre

The Choroi Pentatonic Harp, also known as “Kinderharp” or “Kinderlyre” in Waldorf schools, is tuned in the five-note pentatonic scale: d’ e’ g’ a’ b’ d’ e’.

TheChoroi Kinderharp isconsidered one of the finest quality pentatonic lyres made,and is used in many Waldorf school classrooms throughout Europe and the U.S.

Choroi instruments were created through a striving for a characteristic, radiant tone deriving its intensity from the properties of the wood used in their construction.

Its graceful, sculpted form and ethereal tone make the harp ideal for stimulating a young child’s ear and to stimulate free music making.

The harp can be given to a child, at age five or six, as a first string instrument.
