Glockenspiel online with notes

Play a glockenspiel online, with the notes on every bar

Steel bars, struck with brass.

Real orchestra bells, one recording per bar, from the C above middle C to the very top. Every bar shows its note name and the key that plays it. Brass mallets rather than plastic give the hard bright ping, and the bars ring on long after the strike.

Built for a MIDI controller's top end.

A glockenspiel lives high above middle C, so a connected controller lands you straight in its range. On letter keys, the arrow keys move you up to it.

Free, and nothing is uploaded.

Nothing to install and no account to make. Every sound is played on your own device and stays there.

Easy glockenspiel songs with notes

The Q row is a C major scale: Q W E R T Y U I play C D E F G A B C, the same eight bars most beginner glockenspiel music uses. Each song is written in notes, then in the keys to press. Start with Hot Cross Buns: it only needs three bars.
