Description
This 5 note balinese gamelan glockenspiel comes from Bali, Indonesia. The metal tubes act as a resonance supporting chamber that amplifies the sound and adds a vibrating tone. The product design and colour may slightly vary but loveliness comes as standard. It can be used in meditation to help with concentration and to focus the mind. It can be very relaxing to hear if played correctly or can be really loud if that's what you're going for! 4 wooden feet attached to the bottom of this glockenspiel, what a great designed music instrument, comes with two beaters.
The notes follow the western scale which means that you can learn to play your favourite music with this. This product will likely vary from the picture shown. Most of our goods are handmade and as such a slight natural variation should be expected. We believe it is better to have a unique product than mass conformity.
