my new glockenspiel!!!
Jul 17.2008

YAYAY!!!  I got my glockenspiel in the mail today!  It’s from the 50s, of Deagan make.  I was directed by a very generous and knowledgeable man by the name of Mike to buy this used instrument, despite it having some rust on a bunch of the bells.  He explained that in the 50s and before that the manufacturers used different kinds of metal that, in his opinion, could not be matched today.  Anyway, I LOVE the rusty bells.  Love the weathered wood, broken case.  This instrument makes me really happy to look at it, and it sounds lovely (although a few of the bells I have to position them specially to get a really clear tone.)


Anyway, look forward to hearing and seeing this in some upcoming cluster videos.
