GLENNIE LOW

Aluphone Glennie Low with bells from F4-F5 (13 bells). This instrument was made for Drum Corps. It can easily be mounted on the frame/cart of a marimba/vibraphone. In that way one player can play both instruments at the same time. It can also be placed on cymbal stands. Tuning A = 442

Aluphone will not be affected by high temperatures from direct sunlight, they are resistant to water, so they are perfect for outdoor use. Aluphone bells are very durable. Generaly you can play with marimba mallets. lt can be rubber mallets, yarn mallets and even plastic mallets. Each type changes the timbre a lot hard. If you use a wooden stick you will get a crystal clear bell sound and using a bow produces the sound of glass. We do NOT recommend to play hard with brass mallets, that can damage the bells, but of course you can play it with metal beaters and produces a brilliant sound.
