Glockenspiel

The glockenspiel (also known orchestra bells) is a musical instrument in the percussion family. It is similar to the vibraphone, in that it has metal bars layed out in a fashion resembling a piano keyboard. The glockenspiel, however, is much smaller, and the bars are usually mounted in a portable case. Its range is limited to the upper register. When stuck, the bars give a very pure, bell-like sound.
