A twenty tone chromatic glockenspiel. With the tones c'- g' including all semitones. The most exquisite of all our glockenspiels. An instrument that you just want to own, it is very attractive to as well ear as eye. With its complete set of tones you can play any music with it, it has often been used by professional musicians for both recordings and live concerts. Due to its delicate design and sound it is one of the finest gifts you can give to someone who has developed a sense for luxury as well as for supreme form and function. Comes with six mallets, two soft rubber, two wooden and two hard mallets. The hard mallets enables you to use the chromatic glockenspiel together with a large orchestra, so strong will the tone be. Made with great care in Sweden.
Twelve tone diatonic glockenspiel from c3- to c4 A semi advanced glockenspiel. Enables you to play music containing all whole-notes. For use at home, in school and much more. Comes with a rubber, a wooden and a hard plastic mallet. The hard mallet gives an extreme strong sound which enables you to use this glockenspiel together with regular instruments in an orchestra. Made in Sweden.
The pentatonic scale is also called the "no fault scale". It starts out like "Do-Re-Mi", skips "fa", continues with "So-La", and skips "Ti". So, there are 5 notes. You can play in G major or E minor. This is an excellent kalimba for people with little or no musical experience, but experienced musicians can really fly on this one, as the pentatonic scale lets you apply all your speed and shine almost without you having to think at all (yes, you remember the "blues scale" on guitar -- this is it!) With pick-up.
