Thomann Glockenspiel THGS2.5

I'm a multi-instrumentalist living in the UK and I decided I wanted to try my hand at percussion. It seemed a good idea to start with both a untuned and tuned instrument so snare and glockenspiel were my picks.

After shopping around online, I came across this item on Thomann (a company I was already familiar with). It was easy to order and the item came in good time, well packaged and as I hoped for.

I'm very pleased with this purchase - the glockenspiel itself sounds nice and includes a carry bag, mallets, adjustable stand, and music stand. The snare practise bad in a lovely bonus and I easily switch between the two instruments.

I'm happy with this product and happy with the great service from Thomann. This item gets my recommendations!

I was expecting a Thomann branded instrument, even if it was built by another company. The branding on the instrument is a company called Haosen, it appears from Taiwan. This info is not clearly articulated on the Thomann website under product details. I paid extra believing I was getting a German made product. Could have saved myself the import fees by buying this Taiwanese product stateside. Sounds decent and the case and stand seem good. Mallets are not very good, however; very light and tone quality suffers using them. Overall ok, just disappointed that I received something different than I had expected.
