Glockenspiel

(thing) by the_demiurge (2 y) (print) ? (I like it!) Sat Sep 09 2000 at 22:51:39

Similar to the Xylophone but made of steel. Bars of metal are laid out in order of the chromatic scale. Two mallets are then used to strike the bars, producing tones. Different materials for the mallets produce different types of sounds.
