Cadence

Inground / Recycled

$6,199.91

The Cadence from Freenotes Harmony Park is a commercial outdoor tenor marimba designed to bring deep, vibrant musical tones to playgrounds, schools, parks, outdoor classrooms, and community environments. Featuring 13 musical notes, the Cadence creates a warm and inviting sound that encourages children and adults to explore melody, rhythm, patterns, and creative musical expression through hands-on outdoor play.

Unlike brighter chimes and metallophones, the Cadence offers the distinctive tonal character of a tenor marimba. Its deeper musical voice can add warmth and variety to an outdoor musical environment while providing users with an approachable way to experiment with different notes and musical patterns.

The Cadence can be enjoyed independently as a standalone outdoor instrument or paired with instruments offering contrasting tonal qualities. Freenotes includes the Cadence in its Island Ensemble, where its warm, rich tones complement the joyful sound of the Calypso and the rhythmic backbeat of the Bossa Nova Drums.

Footer Options (Varies by Product)

In-Ground Mounting

This is the most common installation method for playground and shade structures. It involves digging holes and setting the posts directly into concrete that is poured during installation.

Surface Mount (Anchor Bolt)

With this method, posts are secured to an existing solid surface—typically concrete—using specialized base plates and anchor bolt hardware provided with the product.

Ground Spike

This is the simplest mounting option, using a sledgehammer to drive stakes through a footer plate to secure the posts in the desired location. Ground spikes are not recommended for sandy or loamy soil conditions and are only available for select product sets.

FAQs

What are the payment requirements for an order?

Full payment is typically required upfront due to the custom nature of many products. Exceptions can be made for governmental entities through approved purchase orders. All payments must be received prior to the start of installation.

Are installation services available?

Installation services are available for commercial playground projects. A qualified and insured professional can be arranged to handle the setup, and quotes are provided upon request. The goal is to ensure a smooth, safe, and efficient installation process from start to finish.

Is expedited shipping an option for my order?

Expedited shipping is not currently available. Due to the size and nature of playground LTL shipments, most freight carriers are unable to guarantee faster delivery. Unless otherwise noted, all products ship according to the estimated lead times listed on each product page.

How is the estimated lead time calculated?

Estimated lead time refers to the amount of time it typically takes for a product to be prepared and shipped after an order is placed. For many commercial playground items, manufacturing begins only once the order is received. For example, if the lead time is listed as 8 to 10 weeks, that means it will take approximately8 to 10 weeks for the product to be manufactured, packaged, and shipped from the warehouse.
