The Pegasus from Freenotes Harmony Park is a commercial outdoor musical instrument designed to bring melody, creativity, and sensory exploration to playgrounds, schools, parks, childcare centers, and outdoor learning environments. With 23 resonated notes spanning two complementary keys—C Major and A Minor—the Pegasus provides children with an approachable way to experiment with music while enjoying the benefits of outdoor play.
The anodized aluminum bars produce bright, beautiful tones enhanced by resonators that give the instrument its distinctive gong-like sound. Children can experiment with individual notes, create melodies and rhythms, discover musical patterns, or collaborate with another player to make music together.
Because the Pegasus incorporates notes from both C Major and A Minor, it offers plenty of possibilities for musical discovery without requiring children to have previous musical experience. This makes it especially valuable for outdoor classrooms, sensory environments, music gardens, and commercial playgrounds where open-ended activities can complement more traditional physical play equipment.
Its sleek, wing-inspired profile also makes the Pegasus an attractive addition to an outdoor environment. Rather than simply adding another activity, this commercial outdoor metallophone can become a destination within the play space where children slow down, listen, experiment, create, and interact with one another.
