Caution
Injury or handicaps to persons caused by the disregard of
warnings with this mark or, misuse of the instrument, may
result in the loss of personal property.
If the instrument is often moved, bolts, parts, etc., may become loose. After moving the instrument, check and make
sure all bolts, parts, etc., are firmly fastened. Firmly tighten all loose items.
Do not use the mallets for any purpose other than playing the instrument.
Doing so can result in injury or accident. Do not allow children to hit others, etc., or any other dangerous behavior.
Take care not to pinch your hands during assembly.
Frame and leg sections in particular, should be assembled by two persons working carefully.
When assembling/disassembling the instrument, make sure to follow the procedure outlined in this manual. Assembly
in the wrong order can cause the pipes to drop which may result in an injury, impair the performance functionality of
the instrument or cause noise.
After final adjustment of the legs the fixing screws must be tightened securely to prevent loosening. Looseness may
cause the instrument to shift during performance and can also cause noise and other problems. Retighten the screws
from time to time.
To get the most out of your instrument
Please read the following instructions carefully before using your glockenspiel.

Installation Location
Use or storage in the following locations may cause
damage, even when packaged.
• In direct sunlight, such as near a window, or in a
closed vehicle in daytime.
• Near heating devices or in other locations subject to
excessive heat.
• In excessively cold environment.
• In places with excessive humidity or dust.

Handling
• Placing objects on or leaning against the instrument
can damage the tone bars or the side frame. This
can also lead to the instrument falling over, etc. as
described in the “Precautions” section. Never do this
as it is very dangerous.
• Do not use the glockenspiel’s mallets on a vibra-
phone, metallophone, etc. It can dent the tone bars
or cause damage, which can result in poor pitch.
◆
Transporting the Instrument
• When transporting the disassembled instrument,
remove the tone bars and resonator pipes from the
glockenspiel and wrap them in a soft blanket, etc.
for transport.
• When moving the instrument with its casters, make
sure you adjust the instrument’s height to its lowest
level. This puts the instrument’s center of gravity at
a lower point for greater stability while moving.
• The instrument is sensitive to impacts. Treat the
instrument with care when moving. Never drop or
throw the instrument.
• If it is necessary to lift the instrument while moving
it, always do so with at least two persons and using
both hands to hold the side frames or legs. The in-
strument weighs about 36 kilograms.
◆
Maintenance
• The tone bars should be polished from time to time
using a soft and dry cloth. Never use thinner or ben-
zene or a wet cloth for cleaning purpose.
