Glockenspiel is a chromatic percussion instrument consisting of a set of tuned metal bars arranged like a keyboard, struck with mallets to produce bright, bell-like tones. It is commonly used in orchestras and concert bands for high, shimmering timbres and precise pitch. The instrument is played with two mallets in each hand, enabling rapid melodic lines and arpeggios.
