Collection: Chromatic Add-Ons

Chromatic add-ons for SUZUKI Orff instruments, covering xylophones, metallophones and glockenspiels in soprano, alto and bass.

A diatonic Orff instrument arrives in C major with F♯ and B♭ bars included, which handles most elementary repertoire. When a program moves into other keys, the add-on supplies the remaining sharps and flats and sits alongside the existing instrument, so a diatonic instrument becomes a full chromatic one without a second purchase.

The add-on uses the same bar layout and the same mallets, so students who already play the diatonic instrument do not have to relearn anything.

SUZUKI changed its instrument fittings at one point, and current and older models take different add-ons. Both are stocked here. Check the model number on your instrument before ordering, and get in touch if you are not sure which you have.
