I am glockspeel, from Groningen, Netherlands. My user name was going to be Glockenspeel but this site wouldn't take user-names over 10 characters long. Anyway, nice to speak to you all, and I especially look forward to speaking to Speelgoedmannetje and odin, who are from my home town.  :-D

Hi dude and welcome to the amisylum :-D

Username too long, eh? Well, that particular mallet comes up as "Glocken" on my synth, so you got off lightly :-)

Hmmm, on my old korg z1 it comes up as glockenspiel, and does NOT sound as a glockenspiel at all  :-)

Isn't it really a xylophone though?

@odin

One simply doesn't know what you mean, old boy ;-)

-edit-

Isn't a xylophone a combination of wood/metal and muted compared to a glockenspiel?

Yeah Baby. Welcome to Amiga.org.  As you see we have a full arrangement of activites in our wonderful playpark. YeaH woohoo, I think I'm finally going to get access to the box with my processor cards...

Anyone have a spare PPC, maybe like Cyberstorm something, they are willing to donate to me for my a4000  :-D


@Karlos

Yipe a Glockenspiel is 2 1/2 to 3 octaves of piercing metal (mostly ferrous), like steel.  I think name means to play the bells or something

Xylophone is all hardwood, consisting of about 3 octaves or more (depends on the kind of xylophone), with the name in greek meaning xylo- wood , phone- sound,voice, whatever

Best of Wishes Glockpiel

I see. That definately explains the xylophone sound on my synth. At first I was gonna say "all wood" then I thought, "hang on, that's a marimba, isn't it?"

Tune in next week folks, for more mallet percussion action when we uncover "just what is a celesta?"

Is that your glockenspiel?
Title: Re: Hello everyone!
Post by: Holley on May 08, 2004, 10:10:54 PM
I am a firm believer that a man should keep his glockenspiel to himself, and maybe his wife.  I guess I'm just old fashioned, as the internet is flooded with photos of glockenspiels these days ...

to Glockenspiel - hello fellow newbie! :-)
