4.0 out of 5 stars great beginner glockenspiel, November 6, 2011

This review is from: CB Percussion 6854 Bell Kit

Great beginner glockenspiel but with the rubber mallets the volume is not as great. Plastic mallets work better. I have the acclaimed Angel AX-25 glockenspiel which works as great and has plastic mallets. The CB has the size of a more adult instrument (but more for teens than adults) but for sound you can't beat the Angel, but it is not better than the CB when plastic mallets are used. These 2 glockenspiels are conveniently small and light, and great for any age. The bars for the CB are white and black and aluminum, those for the Angel are steel and all silvery. This instrument is wrongly called bells or orchestra bells--it is a glockenspiel and the German name means "bells play" but not because they are bells, but because bells were used before the bars. It is also wrongly called a xylophone, xylophone bars are made of wood.

There are two CB glockenspiel sets on Amazon.com right now. model 6854 comes in a hard plastic case. Model 6855 is a little less expesive because it comes in a nylon case. Sure wish those things were included in the descriptions of the items. Hope this helps others.
