Glock Tree

(Wind Chimes, Foglie do Rame Col Mano, Cortina China, Metallwindspiel)
Mfg. by Emil Richards
More clanky than regular mark tree or windchimes. Bars from 3 glockenspiels strung up on rack.
Emil Richards’ glock tree is simply a mark tree composed of glockenspiel bars instead of small chimes; it is also arranged linearly like the mark tree. Starting in the 1970s, Emil took his incomplete sets of glockenspiels and strung the bars up in the closest chromatic arrangement possible. He coined the term “glock tree” (just as he coined the term “mark tree”). While sweeping the fingers through the glock tree is perhaps the most common method of playing, hitting the bars with a hard bell mallet makes a secondary clanking sound.
