Playing, making and listening to music is one of life’s great joys. It’s a unifying human experience.
Which is why we love World Music Day so much. Created to encourage musicians of all ages and abilities to get outside and play music in public spaces, it calls attention to the importance of music in our everyday lives.
At pBone Music, we believe that everyone should enjoy the benefits of making music.
Making music accessible
World Music Day is about making music more accessible. It’s about celebrating the role music plays in our society and helping those who enjoy listening and playing music find each other.
Accessibility is crucial to this aim. It’s why we focus on improving access to musical instruments in schools by making our products more hygienic and safe. One of the ways we do so is by including Biomaster, an antimicrobial additive from Addmaster, a Polygiene Group company in our plastic instruments.
The importance of antimicrobials
Antimicrobials like Biomaster play a vital role in manufacturing our instruments. Whether it is creating components for our award-winning brass instruments or providing instruments for thousands of children in Wales, antimicrobials have been
Without Biomaster from Addmaster, sharing instruments would be far less hygienic and there would be greater transmission of illness between students. For children, teachers, and parents, this is vital.
Solutions like BioMaster prevent bacterial growth and limit the spread of microorganisms. Consequently, they are essential in busy, public environments like schools, where bacterial spread occurs quickly and can have significant consequences.
Understanding the science behind BioMaster from Addmaster
BioMaster is an antimicrobial technology that provides 24/7, long-lasting protection against bacteria and other unwanted microorganisms. It proactively inhibits and disrupts bacterial growth via a powerful silver ion technology that binds with the bacterial cell wall, disrupts enzyme production to limit energy production, and interferes with cell DNA to prevent replication.
Crucially, we integrate BioMaster into products and materials at the manufacturing stage. This means it stays active for the product’s entire lifespan and can’t be washed away or removed. It makes it perfectly suited to our award-winning musical instruments.
Complementing antimicrobials with cleaning and storage solutions
Antimicrobials aren’t a silver bullet or a magic solution, though. They need to be used in conjunction with other hygiene measures to maximise efficacy. Regular hand washing and surface cleaning are two of the most common safeguards.
Other extra protections work too: for instance, washing down your pCorder with soapy water and a cleaning brush. We also provide a protective recorder case manufactured from sustainable materials. It features a QR code that links to recorder learning resources.
