Description
Manta Ray is an outdoor musical instrument that combines flowing, sculptural design with interactive sound, creating a visually dynamic and engaging play experience. Its sweeping form reflects the movement of a manta ray, inviting users to approach from either side and explore sound through motion and interaction.
This system features 36 anodized aluminum notes tuned to a C major diatonic scale, producing clear tones across the alto and soprano range. The dual-sided layout is designed for duet play, allowing multiple users to engage at once while exploring melody and simple harmony. It supports coordination, timing, and creative expression while encouraging social interaction and inclusive play.
Built for outdoor durability, the system uses anodized aluminum notes designed for consistent tonal quality. The materials are resistant to corrosion, UV exposure, and wear, helping maintain both appearance and performance over time. As a non-resonated instrument, it produces a clear, direct sound that carries well in open environments.
Ideal for parks, schools, and sensory-friendly spaces, Manta Ray can be installed as a standalone feature or integrated into a larger outdoor music area. Its design encourages collaborative play, exploration, and shared musical experiences.
