Ever heard of a zither? How about one a child can play? Ok, let’s call this one a Music Maker, because that what it really does regardless of your child’s (or your!) musical experience. Some also call this a Melody Harp or Melody Lap Harp, but this beautiful handmade quality hardwood Music Maker will be a productive musical instrument with no lessons needed. Here’s the secret: simply slide one of the included twelve songsheets under the strings, pluck the string above each printed note, and you’re a virtuoso! How easy is that? You and your child will learn to appreciate music together while playing this Music Maker. Feel free to invent your own tunes too! It will arrive tuned for immediate enjoyment, and includes a pick, tuner, spare wire, and of course, 12 songsheets. Guidance on tuning and re-stringing your instrument will also be included.

You’ll be continuing the long tradition of playing an instrument known since ancient times to the Greeks, Russians, Germans and other peoples of the world. You may even want to let Grandma and Grandpa have a go at this with their grandchild. This best-seller is a winner of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award.
