Ashley Reviews: Green Tones’ Temple Blocks

I have purchased several items from the Green Tones collection, Hohner’s line of eco-friendly instruments. Today I want to talk about their Temple Blocks
.

Green Tones’ Temple Blocks features 5 hollow wooden blocks (made from Rubberwood) attached to a plywood stand (made from Mangowood). The Temple Blocks come with two wooden mallets that can be stored with the stand. Each block produces a nice sound when struck by the mallet, the longer the block the lower the pitch.

The recommended age for the Temple Blocks is 3+ and the instrument is made in India. The base is 12.5 inches wide. This is the same width as the Beginner Drum Set.

I bought this as another addition to our music collection for my young child. He falls below the recommended age for the product. He is very attracted to the sound it produces, but he has not acquired the motor skills necessary for using the mallets to strike a block. He will hit the blocks with his hand and is very interested in eating the mallets. This will be a toy he grows into, and one we will keep around for a while.

The Temple Blocks are my favorite instrument I purchased from the Green Tones line thus far. The instrument is very well constructed, loud, sound pleasant to the ears and the kids I have introduced it to have found it very enjoyable to bang away on. I really enjoy playing with this instrument as well!

My original Temple Blocks I had noticed some issues with chipped paint. I sent a message to Hohner’s Customer Service and they very quickly remedy the situation for me. I really appreciated how promptly they responded to my issue. So here are two really big thumbs up for their customer service department!
