This model is clearly oriented towards **performance and projection**: the choice of carefully treated **carbon steel**, combined with a suspension system designed to respect the natural vibration of the bars, positions it as a relevant solution for musicians seeking **optimized resonance** and reliable response, both in rehearsal and concert settings. ### Who This Glockenspiel Is For This glockenspiel is particularly suitable for **intermediate to advanced percussionists** looking to step up in terms of note clarity, sustain, and intonation precision. Its range of **2.5 octaves (F2 to C5)** covers most common needs in **wind orchestras**, **symphony orchestras**, percussion ensembles, film music, as well as percussion keyboard parts in **contemporary repertoire**. It also meets the demands of conservatories and music schools for intensive use, while remaining compact enough for transport thanks to the carrying case. ### Features and Innovations The design emphasizes sound stability and freedom of vibration. The **single-point bar mounting** limits energy loss and promotes a more natural oscillation, while the **support cord fixed at the vibration node** helps preserve the note by reducing unwanted damping. This architecture results in more comfortable playing: fast passages gain clarity, and sustained notes remain present without forcing the attack. The **frame independent from the carrying case** facilitates setup and protects the instrument during transport, with a **detachable lid** designed for quick transition from storage to stage. ### Sound The sonic signature of a glockenspiel depends directly on the nature and treatment of its bars. Here, the **carbon steel** provides a **clear attack** and **immediate brightness**, with a "clean" note sensation that easily stands out in an ensemble. The **dipping treatment** contributes to timbral consistency and response precision, favoring a sound that is both **pure** and **rich in harmonics** without becoming harsh. The work on suspension plays a major role in the final sound. By placing the support at the **vibration node** and adopting a **single anchoring point**, the instrument retains more vibrational energy: the **sustain** lengthens, the **resonance** opens up, and dynamics develop more naturally. In practice, this allows for more audible pianissimos, smoother crescendos, and accents that maintain their musicality, particularly appreciated in exposed passages or melodic lines in the upper register. ## Technical Specifications ### Range and Tuning - Range: F2 to C5 - Span: 2.5 octaves - Tuning: A = 442 Hz ### Bars - Material: carbon steel - Bar width: 31 mm - Bar thickness: 7.8 mm - Design: support cord fixed at the vibration node - Mounting: single-point bar mounting ### Frame, Case, and Transport - Lid: detachable - Frame: independent from the carrying case - Weight: 15.7 kg (including carrying case) ### Dimensions - Dimensions (L x W x H): 79 x 48 x 11 cm ### Accessories and Compatibility - Stand: not included (without stand) Brand reference number: KYG1210 MANUFACTURER INFORMATION Read more Close Videos   Sales & Advice ![kevin\_c - mahel\_tmp](/images/v4/staff/kevin_c.jpg) Kevin Drums / Percussion advisor Contact +33 257 880 074 [See business hours ›](http://www.woodbrass.com/en/contact_us) Quick navigation [Home](index.php) [Drums / percussion](drums-percussion) [Orchestral drums](drums-percussion/orchestral-drums) [Glockenspiel](drums-percussion/orchestral-drums/glockenspiel)
