Sonor NG 30 Soprano Chromatic Glockenspiel

The SONOR NG 30 Soprano Chromatic Glockenspiel is an excellent next step for students who are ready to move beyond diatonic Orff instruments. Featuring a full chromatic layout, brilliant steel bars, and SONOR's thoughtfully designed wooden resonator box, it allows young musicians to perform a wider variety of melodies while developing stronger music reading, pitch recognition, and ensemble skills.
