Early Years Height Butterflies are intentionally designed at a lower height to be
accessible to the youngest aspiring musicians. They can be purchased as
singles or as a full collection or added to the Flower Collection where
they harmoniously complement each other to create a natural, botanical
aesthetic. In addition to
their sculptural
beauty, the
Butterflies emit
the pleasing
sounds of
chimes. These instruments resonate with a beautifully soft, sweet gong sound. Sized ideally for 2-12 years.
These botanically inspired,
beautiful sculptural musical instruments can be installed as a full
collection or be added to the Flower Instrument Collection where they complement each
other in perfect harmony.
They bring a wonderful nature element to a childcare, park,
children's museum, restaurant and many other creative
outdoor environments. They are the ideal complement to a playground
area, nature garden or sound park.
Each
Butterfly
has different notes and colors which helps to make the
collection look
and sound like an enchanted musical garden. The beautiful tones allow
anyone to create a musical symphony, whether used by a professional
musician, or for the first time ever by an individual of any age and
ability. With these instruments, there are no wrong notes, every note
sounds perfect.
These instruments are built to withstand all normal weather conditions. They are constructed with anodized aluminum wings, a powder coated steel frame and sturdy stainless steel hardware. The full set of 4 includes 1 of each color, yellow, orange, indigo and turquoise. Each instrument measures approximately 20-3/8"w x 12-3/8"d x 34"h (heights may vary, depending on installation).
Why the butterfly?
Flying around the world for millions of years, the butterfly has been granted a deep meaning by nearly all great civilizations, religions, and spiritual traditions on Earth. To Native Americans, the butterfly is a symbol of change, joy and color. In the traditional Chinese and ancient Greek cultures, the butterfly is the symbol of immortality. To the ancient Greeks, it is also the symbol of the soul. In Christianity the butterfly symbolizes rebirth, immortality and resurrection. Around the world, people view the butterfly as representing endurance, change, hope and life...however the most common belief is that they are an indication of good luck.
Butterflies have such a magical presence and quality as they gently dance on the air from flower to flower. Yellow Butterflies are regarded as symbols of joy, happiness and creativity. Orange Butterflies are symbols of encouragement, excitement, and passion.
