Definice a Význam "glockenspiel"

What is a "glockenspiel"?

A glockenspiel is a percussion instrument with a set of metal bars arranged like a keyboard. The bars are tuned to different pitches and are played by striking them with mallets. Each bar produces a clear, bell-like tone when struck. The glockenspiel is used in various music genres, including orchestras, marching bands, and chamber ensembles, and is known for its bright, tinkling sound. Its precise, melodic notes make it suitable for both solo performances and ensemble settings.
