Time to introduce our fabulous wooden marble runs.
Newly in and available in the UK is the Swiss made marble run that makes music, Xyloba.

The simple interlocking Xyloba system allows an almost unlimited number of variations. The fun really begins when, in addition to building, one starts composing. Carrillon notes of various pitches can be built into the marble run. Tracks of different lengths correspond to note lengths: minims, crotchets and quavers. Melodies are composed by arranging the way the marbles hit these metal sound modules.

Xyloba is a creative marble run for building and composing at the same time.
Xyloba develops motor function and spatial imagination, and facilitates a creative approach to music.
This melodic marble run is also used as an educational tool. It visualizes the musical process and combines it with the pleasure of playing.
The sturdy interlocking system and its interchangeable pieces allow one to build large marble runs that play complex melodies.
Xyloba‘s high-quality sound modules are tuned precisely and produce a pleasant sound.

Our firm favourite, also from Switzerland is Cuboro. The wooden cuboro marble track is a high quality toy that last a generation (and more).
Now our friends at Cuboro have come up with a new marble extension set! In a wondrous manner, “cuboro mysterycube” lets the marbles roll from one level to the next – upwards. Finally, the eager wish of many cuboro fans for a “marble elevator” for the cuboro marble track system is fulfilled in the most spectacular way.
