Resonator Bell Stairs

I made this set of resonator bell stairs out of some scrap wood I had in the garage. Looks like the Noteman Babies have made themselves at home!

This little tool is useful for training to recognize notes going “higher” and “lower.” I use it when doing solfege and singing-by-number exercises.
