Sonor Meisterklasse SKM 20 Soprano Metallophone Chromatic Add-On

The SONOR Meisterklasse SKM 20 Soprano Metallophone Chromatic Add-On expands your existing SKM 10 diatonic metallophone into a complete chromatic instrument. Designed specifically for the SONOR Meisterklasse Series, this chromatic extension includes seven precision-tuned alloy bars mounted on a matching resonator box, allowing students to perform more advanced literature while maintaining the exceptional tone and craftsmanship of the original instrument.

If your classroom is ready for more challenging Orff arrangements, chromatic melodies, and expanded harmonic possibilities, the SKM 20 is the perfect upgrade. Instead of replacing your existing instrument, simply add this extension to unlock a complete chromatic range.

Why Music Teachers Choose the SKM 20
