INVENTORY #59057

BRAND: Premier

MODEL: 6801

FUNCTION: Orchestral Glockenspiel

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This listing is for a Premier 6801 Orchestral Glockenspiel w/ Case. The Premier 6801 Orchestral Glockenspiel is a highly regarded 2.5-octave instrument known for its bright, piercing sound and long sustain. It is particularly famous for being the primary glockenspiel used by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead, appearing on iconic tracks like "No Surprises" and "All I Need".

SPECS:

• Suspended Note Bars: Unlike standard table glockenspiels that use pins, the 6801 features bars suspended by a cord that passes through their nodal points. This design allows for a significantly longer decay time and resonance.
• Wide Note Bars: It utilizes 1.25" wide hi-carbon steel bars. These wider bars improve note accuracy during fast passages and provide a more resonant, "full-bodied" tone compared to entry-level models.
• Range: It covers a 2.5-octave range (Model 6801/A2), typically starting from G5 to C8.
• Portability: The instrument is often housed in a trapezoidal black hard case with a removable lid, making it a "luggage-style" glockenspiel suitable for touring and professional use.

ACCESSORIES INCLUDED: This item comes as seen in photos and includes its original black trapezoidal hard case.
