Glock-Guitar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Glock-Guitar is a percussion instrument belonging to the idiophone family of instruments. The glock-guitar is composed of a large, flat wooden board with a smaller handle known as the akkordboard. The akkordboard usually has four round peg holes for attaching 3-chime chord block sets, often making a four-note partial scale of A-minor, E, D-minor, and D. The glock-guitar can be played with several different-sized mallets or with the hand like a guitar, hence the instrument's name. The instrument is related to the glockenspiel.
