natedoppler Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I noticed the instrument "Glockenspiel" on an Aimee Mann song the other day. I think it was the remake of "One is the Loneliest Number" on the Magnolia soundtrack. Can someone explain what it is, or post a picture of one? It sounds kind of interesting...

Mark Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Go to Toys-R-Us and demo one and please write a review and send some pics. Just kidding, my daughter had one when she was 3 and then I stepped on it. It is a fun thing to get kids interested in music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobv Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 One is portable for marching bands, the other is a floor-standing instrument. Van Morrison had a band member named Tina who could wail on a xlylophone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
