Overview
A classroom or a home music corner suits this Sonor glockenspiel, whose resonator boxes have a soft shape that invites creative playing. The bars are metal and are described as wider than usual in the meisterklasse line.
Wider bars improve playability and widen the sound spectrum, according to the listing, which also praises the sound of the resonator design. The limit is detail: no note range, mallets or warranty are given.
Who it's for
A music class or family wanting a bright bar instrument to play creatively will find a wide bar layout easy to hit. Anyone needing a stated range or a bundled accessory list should look at other glockenspiels.
