Compact Percussion Plus Glockenspiel 17 (PP930), a 17-note school glockenspiel with chromatic range C64 – E80, steel bars on a red wooden base and beaters included – ideal for Primary, Secondary and adult beginners.
Compact 17 note school glockenspiel
The Glockenspiel 17 (Percussion Plus PP930) is a compact 17 note glockenspiel for Primary, Secondary and adult beginners, giving a bright top-line voice for lessons, ensembles and home practice.
If you’re choosing glockenspiels for schools, this model works well as a core school glockenspiel: small enough for young players but with enough range for most beginner pieces.
Steel bars are mounted on a tough red wooden base and voiced to blend with recorders, ukuleles and singing. As a glockenspiel 17 it offers a clear, focused set of notes that won’t overwhelm less confident players, and the included beaters mean it’s ready the moment it comes out of the box.

Classroom use
In lessons, pupils can begin with echo games, simple ostinatos and pulse work using one beater, then progress to two-mallet patterns, broken chords and descant parts as coordination develops.
Used as a small-group or top-line part, the PP930 glockenspiel cuts cleanly through mixed percussion and pairs naturally with your other classroom glockenspiels and tuned percussion. Many teachers use it alongside larger models and glockenspiels for primary schools as a flexible top-line instrument for KS1–KS3.
Range, build & progression options
Tuned chromatically from C64 – E80, the range matches most beginner method books and ensemble parts, so it works well as a glockenspiel for schools for both individual practice and shared use.
The compact footprint stacks easily on trolleys and shelves, giving you a robust Percussion Plus glockenspiel for beginners now, with the option to add wider 25-note or 27-note models later for more advanced repertoire.

Returns
