Percussion Workshop 27 colour note chromatic Glockenspiel – Perfect for Children and Classrooms
The Percussion Workshop 27 colour note chromatic Glockenspiel is a bright, engaging glockenspiel for children and whole-class teaching. Its colour note chromatic glockenspiel layout gives a full two-octave range, with each metal bar colour-coded and clearly engraved with the note name. This makes it ideal as a first classroom glockenspiel for reading notation, playing melodies and reinforcing pitch work in groups or 1:1 lessons.
The bars are mounted in a tough blue plastic glockenspiel with case, complete with carry handle, so it’s easy to move between classrooms, rehearsals and performances. This 27 colour note chromatic glockenspiel (over 2 octaves) in total and is for players from 3 years old upwards.
Great value for money
The Percussion Workshop glockenspiel range is known for offering high-quality, affordable school glockenspiel options. This model is robust enough for daily use in Early Years, Primary, Secondary, Adult and SEND music sessions, while staying light enough for pupils to handle confidently. Accurate tuning and a clear, bell-like tone make it suitable for everything from first songs to small-group ensemble work.
Percussion Workshop 27 colour note chromatic Glockenspiel – includes accessories
The 27 note glockenspiel case has folding legs underneath, lifting the instrument off the table for better resonance and projection – perfect when you’re leading a whole-class glockenspiel lesson. A pair of strong yellow beaters is supplied, so learners can start playing straight from the box without needing extra accessories.
The compact glockenspiel in case stacks neatly on trolleys or shelves, helping you manage storage for larger sets of glockenspiels for schools.

If you need other options for your scheme of work, the Percussion Plus 17 note glockenspiel and the Percussion Plus 25 note chromatic junior glockenspiel are also available separately, giving you a flexible family of glockenspiel instruments to suit different ages and budgets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is special about this Percussion Workshop glockenspiel?
The Percussion Workshop 27 colour note chromatic Glockenspiel uses colour-coded, clearly labelled bars in a tough blue case. That makes patterns easy to see, so even beginners and SEND music groups can join in quickly in classroom glockenspiel sessions.
What is the difference between a xylophone and a glockenspiel?
A glockenspiel for schools uses metal bars and sounds bright and bell-like, while a xylophone uses wooden bars and has a warmer, lower tone. This colour note glockenspiel is ideal for melody lines that need to cut through a whole class.
Does it come with a case and beaters?
Yes. The Percussion Workshop glockenspiel is built into a durable plastic glockenspiel with case and supplied with strong beaters. It’s ready to use straight out of the box for lessons, clubs and peripatetic teaching.

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.

In the event of damage, please take photographs, including any damage to the packaging, and email these to us ASAP.
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.
But please do contact us before returning any damaged or substandard items. Once we’ve approved their return, please send to: Drums for Schools Limited, 21 Shaftesbury Avenue, Burton Joyce NG14 5GL
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.
