Subject: RE: ISTRUMENT SELECTION - Please confirm.
Tuned Drums Price: $2,500.00
The five, tuned, drums in this set have a specially shaped resonating chamber to amplify the sound. The colored tops help the players to quickly associate a particular drum with its sound and this outdoor musical instrument is highly suitable for use in music therapy. There are two sizes available: standard or pre-school and the drums can be fixed at varying heights to suit the users. Drums are available in Primary Rainbow (pictured) or Green Drums with Molded Caps in four colors,Taupe,Moss Green, Blue and Yellow.
Two set of TUNED DRUMS
Giant Chimes Price: $1,929.00
The Giant Chimes create a great focal point within a Sensory Area. Tuned to the notes CDEGAC, they produce a deeper, more resonant tone when struck with your hand than the standard Chimes, and children can experience the sensation of vibration at more than just a ‘hearing’ level. They therefore have a wide appeal and are a great inclusive addition to your sensory area. Standing at up to 2.2m tall (above the ground) the Giant Chimes are both impressive and exciting.
Tung-Drum Price: $999.00
Deep, rich sounds and colors characterize the Tung-Drum (otherwise known as a Tongue Drum). They produce sounds so soft, deep and resonant that you can feel them through the ground. This instrument can be sited outdoors or indoors and is played with the four 'mallets' supplied with each drum. The mallets are tethered to the drum with stainless steel braided cable. There are two sizes of Tung-Drum available; either 24" or 30" diameter. They are powder coated to give a deep, lustrous, hard wearing finish and are made from re-purposed (recycled) propane tanks. Please note that due to the recycled nature of this product there may be some small imperfections in the underlying surface, we like to think that these add to the 'character' of the instrument and hope that you think so too.

Giant Chimes Price: $1,929.00
The Giant Chimes create a great focal point within a Sensory Area. Tuned to the notes CDEGAC, they produce a deeper, more resonant tone when struck with your hand than the standard Chimes, and children can experience the sensation of vibration at more than just a ‘hearing’ level. They therefore have a wide appeal and are a great inclusive addition to your sensory area. Standing at up to 2.2m tall (above the ground) the Giant Chimes are both impressive and exciting.
Tung-Drum Price: $999.00
Deep, rich sounds and colors characterize the Tung-Drum (otherwise known as a Tongue Drum). They produce sounds so soft, deep and resonant that you can feel them through the ground. This instrument can be sited outdoors or indoors and is played with the four 'mallets' supplied with each drum. The mallets are tethered to the drum with stainless steel braided cable. There are two sizes of Tung-Drum available; either 24" or 30" diameter. They are powder coated to give a deep, lustrous, hard wearing finish and are made from re-purposed (recycled) propane tanks. Please note that due to the recycled nature of this product there may be some small imperfections in the underlying surface, we like to think that these add to the 'character' of the instrument and hope that you think so too.

Permeable 3 1/4" x 18"Managing Stormwater Runoff
The need for a pervious concrete paving unitthat allows water to permeate the soil hasbecome increasingly important. With more andmore paved areas such as streets, parking lotsand sidewalks, rainwater has little opportunityto filtrate into the soil. Municipalities now requirethat stormwater runoff be managed andretained.
Hanover´s Permeable Paving Units allow forstormwater drainage, managing excessiverunoff. Benefits of using permeable pavers arenumerous. Permeable Pavers have been provento be very beneficial because: Erosion andstormwater runoff are reduced, Land-use isincreased, Water quality is improved, Drainageand Retention System costs are reduced, Accessfor underground repairs is permitted.
Hanover´s newest Permeable Paver, thePermeable 3 1/4" x 18", meets standards setforth by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).With a 1/16" bevel, the Permeable 3 1/4" x 18" isavailable with a 4" thickness.
