Caterpillar Bells

Inground

$5,277.26

The Caterpillar Bells from Freenotes Harmony Park are a commercial outdoor musical instrument designed specifically for early childhood play. Combining seven musical bells with a colorful caterpillar-inspired design, this interactive instrument gives young children an approachable way to discover music while adding imaginative character to playgrounds, outdoor classrooms, sensory spaces, and nature-inspired learning environments.

The Caterpillar Bells feature seven anodized aluminum notes tuned to the C Major Pentatonic scale. The bells produce bright, sustained tones in the alto range, creating a cheerful musical experience that encourages children to experiment freely with sound. Because the instrument uses pentatonic tuning, children can explore different combinations of notes and create pleasing musical patterns without needing previous musical experience.

Four black mallets are included, allowing multiple children to gather around the Caterpillar and make music together. Children can strike individual bells, repeat favorite sounds, experiment with rhythms, imitate one another's patterns, or work together to create their own musical sequences.

Please note the following:

Free freight is not available for playground items.

Off-loading is the customer’s responsibility. These items are heavy and may require equipment such as a skid-steer loader or forklift, which must be provided by the customer.

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.
