Millstone Creek: Columbus, Ohio. “The first time I heard Freenotes instruments being played, I was blown away by their sound quality. They are beautiful instruments that make beautiful sounds. And the best part is they have been designed to withstand the heavy use and weather conditions of being outdoors. They have even figured out how to ensure that no one walks away with the mallets,” says Mara Kaplan of Accessible Playgrounds. “I am very impressed with Freenotes’ commitment to ensuring that people with disabilities have an opportunity to experience the thrill of making music, but also the respectful and well-researched way they discuss different disabilities.”

Botanical Gardens: Instruments were placed on loan at the Botanical Gardens in Key West, Florida for a sculpture exhibition. The Garden's Education Department learned the instruments were about to be removed so they had an emergency fundraising effort to make the installations permanent. After a week of public donations and funds from the Education Department, the instruments now call Key West home.
