Glockenspiel

<Carbon Steel>

The most standard material for glockenspiel soundboards is specially heat-treated for optimum acoustics. This type offers excellent cost performance.

<Nordal string + 1-pin system>

This method draws out the sound of the soundboard by passing the string over a felt with moderate elasticity and minimizing the contact surface with the soundboard. The one-pin system is used to secure the soundboard at the acoustically optimum point.

<L Curve>

The L-curve is a curve in tuning that allows the pitch to match when played in concert with other concert instruments (piano, winds, etc.). The L-curve tuning is used for the glockenspiel, in which only the upper register is tuned higher.
