Ceng Ceng Turtle

A fabulous ‘Ceng Ceng Turtle’ just like the Balinese originals but, using steel instead of bronze for the cymbal sections. There are six single Ceng Ceng attached to the turtle's body, and these are played by a single musician using a pair of unattached Ceng Ceng.

These cymbals can help with all aspects of EY development, including:

Sensory and/or physical needs

Time to get loud and clanging!
Eye-teaming and hand-eye coordination benefit from playing these cymbals.
Must be played in an environment away from sound-hypersensitive listeners.
Great fun, enabling, alongside drums, expressions of frustration, anger to be quickly transformed. Improve grip and up/down hand/arm movement.

Social, emotional and mental health
Safe expression of anger, frustration and other passionate emotions can provide an effective emotional health benefit. In turn, greater comfort with emotions can lead to clearer, unobstructed thinking and functioning

Communication and interaction
Lovely 'climactic' appeal for music pieces.
Happily sits on wheelchair table or even in lap without too much discomfort.

Cognition and learning

Learning to express a wider range of emotions in a way that can also prove constructive. Eg. A 'tantrum' can become an explosive introduction/intervention in a rhythmic piece of music or a cue to 'play as if all of the animals were running really fast.'

This is a lovely instrument for children with its enticing design and red and gold colour. You can also find this instrument within our ‘Big Stuff Kit - 14 Instruments’ collection.
