Located in Japan, Suzuki is a manufacturer that started manufacturing harmonicas, expanded product range to keyboard harmonica and produces a wide range of educational musical instruments.

This Music Pad is one of such reed instruments.
A Suzuki music pad which children can naturally learn the pitch and rhythm of the sound while playing.
When you step on it, the air inside the pad is pushed out, and the reed inside vibrates and makes a sound.
Its acoustic instrument, so you dont need a power supply! Its a big feature that you can use it freely regardless of where you use it.
It can also be used as a sound play tool in kindergartens and nursery schools!
Most people image it is an electric instruments when it sounds by stepping on pads, but with the Music Pad MP-8, the air inside is pushed out when the pad is stepped on, and the reed vibrates to produce a sound. It is a mechanism to sound.
It has the same sounding principle as the keyboard harmonica and harmonica, so the tone will match well with instruction using keyboard harmonica, and it is a comfortable tone to children.
Since it does not require a power source, there are no restrictions on where it is placed or how it is played, allowing you to play freely.
If you put pads in a playing space, children can play safely and freely!
