Mad About's MT-D-8s are a set of eight rainbow-coloured percussion tubes making a full octave of notes from C to C using a diatonic scale - they would all be white notes on a conventional keyboard. Each tube is clearly marked with its note value. The diatonic scale allows for a much greater range of songs to be played and most songbooks for percussion tubes are based on this scale.

They can be played in a variety of ways and require little skill to make a pleasing sound. Hit them onto a hard surface; strike them with your hand or a stick or beater; tap an open end down onto a flat surface.

They are an ideal instrument in many settings from primary and pre-school including for SEN pupils; team-building and music therapy groups, care homes and for use by the differently-abled. A great fun way to introduce rhythm, pitch and basic music theory.
