Frequently Asked Questions for Glockenspiel 17 note:
What is the Percussion Plus 17-note glockenspiel?
The Percussion Plus PP930 – often searched as “Glockenspiel 17” – is a fully chromatic classroom glockenspiel. It has 17 metal bars (C64–E80) on a durable red wooden base. Beaters are included. The bright, bell-like tone projects well, and the compact size suits KS1–KS2 desks.
What range does it cover?
It’s fully chromatic from C64 to E80 (17 bars). Pupils can play simple melodies and every semitone between.
Is the glockenspiel hard to play?
No. It’s sized for young players and supplied with beaters, so pupils can start immediately. Begin with single-mallet patterns, then move to two mallets as coordination grows. Suitable from age 5+.
What’s the difference between a xylophone and a glockenspiel?
Xylophones use wooden bars and sound lower and warmer. Glockenspiels use metal bars and sound brighter and higher. The PP930’s accurate tuning helps melody lines project in classroom ensembles.

Returns
Please let us know straight away if anything arrives damaged or otherwise in a substandard condition and we’ll be happy to replace it, refund the cost or provide you with an alternative product to your satisfaction.

Similarly, if an instrument develops a fault within 12 months of purchase in the course of normal use (though excluding fair wear and tear), please let us know, and we’ll replace it or refund the cost. It’s also very helpful for us to see photos of the issue as this gives us solid information for changing the design, the production method or the packing materials.

We really appreciate your feedback in the case of faults (or if you think an instrument could be improved in any way) and we take all such feedback very seriously indeed.
