Studio 49 AGc Alto Glockenspiel

The general colour of the sound is nice and warmer than most of small glockenspiels out there. It is nicely built but next to the metal plates and a wooden box you get plastic sticks that despite looking and feeling very cheap are creating a fine sound.
However, this glockenspiel is not quite balanced. The plates are not ringing equally clear and long, especially in the second octave. I have another much cheaper glockenspiel in the studio that rings twice longer than this one. Unfortunately, for this price I expected much more.
Also, beware, this one is tuned sharper. It has a chamber pitch around 442, 443 Hz that is not written in the description.
