Microtonal Glockenspiel

built with steel sheet metal and wooden stand. This instrument was inspired by my passion for mallet sounds and glockenspiels. I wanted to build a new instrument to add those kind of sounds to my music and was reading about instrument maker Harry Partch and was fascinated by his microtonal percussion instruments and wanted to build something of that kind. The keys are made up from 1" steel bar that was cut and drilled at the 3rd ward machine shop sometimes around 2006.
