While everything is getting faster, bigger and stronger today, we at GLOCKENKLANG have given serious thought to how products can be made 'better'. In doing so, we very quickly came to the conclusion that, unfortunately, far too often essential things are neglected or completely overlooked in the race. Terms such as 'purity of sound', 'richness of detail', 'joy of playing' and 'liveliness' come to mind. We had to learn that cultivating these things is very difficult and technically complex. And that has its price. GLOCKENKLANG products are not cheap, but worth their price. You experience that immediately with the first note. And you never forget that again. In the spirit of this philosophy, we develop and produce our high-end products today and in the future.
