The new Adams Glockenspiels are made of the highest quality European steel that has been custom formulated especially for Adams. The bells exactly match the specifications of the legendary "Deagan Round Top Parsifal Bells" which many percussionists all over the world feel are the benchmark for a glockenspiel sound. With this in mind, Adams has taken great care to design these new bells to match the unique timbre, tone and resonance of these vintage American instruments.

Adams glockenspiels are currently available in one  model. The "AB-1V" model features a 3.3 octave range of C-E, with resonators and a height adjustable Voyager frame. All bars are 1.25" wide (inch and a quarter) and 7/16" thick with the highest quality satin nickel plating which prevents any bright glare under stage lighting.

These new glockenspiels are perfect for any ensemble. Their unique features and custom made steel set them apart from any other instrument made in the world today. The combination of their sparkling "vintage" sound, with sturdy modern construction techniques will make them everyone's number one choice.
