The open rail system of the Vintage Glockenspiel allows for the use of a foot-operated damping system, eliminating any 'case sounds.' The beautiful clear nickel-silver frame and pedal, along with the walnut-colored carrying rails and side pieces, give the instrument a unique vintage look that will appeal to every classical musician. The Vintage Glockenspiel is equipped with a reversible damping system, allowing the player to operate the pedal as a vibraphone (pedal depressed to release damping) or in a reversed position (pedal depressed to dampen), depending on personal preference. This unique system, with the half tones mounted above the whole tones, makes the Adams Vintage Glockenspiel the most practical and playable instrument in its class.
