Perfect for Kids! Top 5 Recommended Products from PLAYTECH

Sound House’s in-house brand PLAYTECH offers a wide variety of instruments, including wind instruments, violins, and even percussion instruments that are perfect for children.
The designs and sizes are incredibly cute, and while there are many products that I would love to introduce to all of you, this time I’ll be sharing my top 5 recommended items in a ranking format.

5th Place

PLAYTECH / PXL200 Desktop Xylophone

A tabletop-style xylophone! It features a warm, enveloping tone that beautifully conveys the natural feel of wood. One of its standout features is the ability to switch out the bars attached to the sides of the instrument, allowing you to enjoy three different keys: C major, G major, and F major. This is something that’s rarely seen in a xylophone! Even playing the same song, having the ability to change the key lets you really feel the shift in mood and atmosphere. The sturdy base provides excellent stability, and mallets are included, so you can start playing as soon as it arrives♪

4th Place

PLAYTECH / PKZ100 Kazoo

At first glance, you might wonder what kind of instrument this is since it’s not very common. This is an African instrument called the kazoo. You play it by holding it to your mouth and you are supposed to hum while you blow air through it to produce sound♪ Simply blowing into the whistle part won’t make a noise, so it might be tricky at first, but once you get used to it, it’s easy! It produces a fun and unique sound♪
It’s very affordable and made of plastic, so you can easily wash it thoroughly, which is a nice bonus. The kazoo comes in two colors, blue and red, but you won’t know which one you’ll get until it arrives, which adds a little surprise element☆

3rd Place

PLAYTECH / PPK500 Percussion Kit

This percussion set includes five different instruments all in one: tambourine, maracas, guiro, sleigh bells, and claves. Each instrument is very easy to play—whether shaking or striking. If five people each take one instrument, you can even perform as a group♪
The guiro, in particular, makes a fun sound that resembles a frog’s croak, making it especially popular with kids. The kit comes with a case for easy storage and transport, so you don’t have to worry about losing any pieces.

2nd Place

PLAYTECH / PWB100 Wood Block

This wood block features a bright and charming tone♪ Since the pitch differs between the left and right blocks, your child can enjoy the contrast of high and low sounds. It’s one of the instruments often used in rhythmic education (e.g., rhythmics).
Children are sure to have a great time moving their bodies to the sound when they raise and lower the pitch with their hands! (^_^)
For compact storage, the handle can also be detached. It might be fun to add this wood block to the PLAYTECH PPK500 percussion kit for a group performance!

1st Place

PLAYTECH / Beginner’s Sound Play Set 1

This set includes the PHB500 Bells and the Kids Glockenspiel PGS100! Both feature colorful, attractive designs. The PHB500 is a desk-type bell that you play by striking it with a stick while it sits on a table, making it easy for small children to create sound. Once kids see this instrument, they’ll definitely want to try playing it! This set makes for a great birthday present♪
