About Saito Glockenspiels
- Material
-
Tone bars are made of high carbon steels which are the best material for the bar. The 9mm thick bars have a wide range of expression and the 6mm thick bars create a quick sound response. Tone bars of the SG-120 are R-Chamfered which results in a more resonant and clear tone.
- Tuning Curve
-
The SG series employ the L-shaped tuning curve to match with the piano or other instruments in ensembles. The L-shaped tuning curve is unique for Saito Glockenspiels and natural for human hearing.
- Bar Mounting System
-
The bar mounting system of SG series which mount bars by one pin is designed to create a long resonance. Each bar of SG-120/100/88 sits on a crossed cord for minimum contact points, which allows long resonance and full volume.
- Case
-
Cases for SG series are used as resonance box so-called The American style. While the shape of the case is a trapezoid, players can set the Glockenspiels closer in case of setting in front of the Marimbas or the Vibraphones.
