Freenotes Harmony Park instruments were originally developed by Grammy Award-winning musician Richard Cooke in 1995.

The idea came as a solution to the impediments of learning to play a traditional instrument and needing to read music. Cooke’s experience of learning to play the flute in an improvisational style without taking any lessons or reading music was so profound, he wanted to teach others how they might experience this freedom of playing music instinctively. So many barriers of time, cost and talent were in the way of public exposure to music that he decided to create outdoor instruments that sounded so beautiful that everyone who started to play wouldn’t want to stop.

Freenotes Harmony Park is passionate about uniting communities and cultures with authentic handcrafted, perfectly tuned sound sculptures that provide scalable fun, aesthetic elegance, and multi-generational sensory experiences.

The mission of Freenotes Harmony Park is to build the finest quality outdoor musical instruments on the market. We guarantee that our instruments are durable, sustainable, always perfectly tuned and accessible to everyone regardless of age or musical experience. We provide excellent customer service and are launching a Global Musical Park Movement by creating musical parks in communities everywhere.
