■ Glockenspiel

Carbon Steel
・The most standard material for glockenspiel bars is used with special heat treatment to achieve optimal acoustic properties. This is a cost-effective type.

Nodal String + 1-Pin System
・A string is passed over felt with appropriate elasticity, minimizing contact with the bar to enhance its resonance. The bar is secured with a 1-pin system, fixed at the acoustically optimal point.

L-Curve
・The tuning is curved to match the pitch of other concert instruments (pianos, wind instruments, etc.) when playing together. The glockenspiel uses L-curve tuning, where only the high-frequency range is tuned slightly higher.

Bar Size: Standard
・This is a standard size for glockenspiel bars, suitable for music classes and ensemble performances. The width is 25mm (50D).

Standard 2 1/2 Octaves
・F57-C88. This is the most standard range, covering most songs.

Resonance Box System
・This is the most standard system for glockenspiels, where the entire instrument resonates within the resonance box (case).
