Outstanding value, fun to play.... June 24, 2005

This is an amazing deal, and a fun product to introduce children to music with. The mallets it came with are one piece (no choking hazard from the ball coming off the end) and the unit sounds great. It is the best "bell set" (glockenspeil) we have found for kids, and adults, at anywhere near the price point. Recommend, A+.
Beautiful sound great value! March 22, 2005

I bought this for myself a couple of months ago and I couldn't be more pleased. It has a beautiful sound and the value is unbeatable, I've seen this same model sell for 4x the price at auction. It's not just for children but also for anyone who wants to learn to play this kind of instrument.

The LMI Glockenspiel (Bells set) is made in Korea, and is a real bargain. The glockenspiel is two octaves chromatic, from G-G. The steel bars are silver-plated for a shiny, reflective appearance.
I'm a pro percussionist and pro percussion teacher. I bought an LMI Glockenspiel for a trial, and then bought 6 more. The price was so low ($15) for a set of bells with a hard plastic case, that I wanted more. I gave them as drawing prizes at a student percussion contest.
The glock is very portable, and is light weight, considering that it has steel bars. Most bells sets in the $150-$500 range have aluminum bars. Aluminum bars are OK for a bells set, but steel gives a greater projection, and steel bars "cut through" an entire orchestra.
This is a table-top bells set. You open it up, the top of the case becomes a music stand, and the bells set has feet to set it above the table, for better projection.
A pair of flexible shaft bell mallets, made of hard plastic, are included with the set, and they store easily inside the case.
This is an excellent sounding set of bells, at a very low price. I recommend it for new bells students on a tight budget. I use the LMI Glock when traveling, for practice, and also for teaching in a small room, at a music instrument retail store. I only wish it had 2.5 octaves range.

My brother wanted me to order this for our 14 month old daughter for Christmas. Well, we tested it out, and love it! The sound quality is superb for a first instrument. The instrument itself is a small version, which is perfect for a child to use. The only thing we will do different is get her safe mallets for a toddler.
Great Musical "Toy" for toddlers! June 3, 2006

I say toy, because as the other reviewers noted - it isn't a toy but a professional instrument. I bought this for my 18 month nephew, and it was his favorite present...along with the maracas and slighbell wristbands I got him. I am surprised I was let back in their house. But the unit was shipped quickly, and packs up easily, sliding into a bookcase. It also is durable and will take a kid's banging. The tones are absolutely beautiful and clear, and it is 9.99...what else you could you want??? I would recommed getting more that one, because I have bought it 3x since giving it to him, for other gifts.
