Before using your Glockenspiel, carefully read
and follow the precautions below.
■ 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 environments.
• In places with excessive humidity or dust.
• Locations subject to vibrations.
• Locations where the instrument can be exposed to
rain or moisture.
■ Handling
• Never place an object on or lean against the
instrument while in or out of its case. This may cause
damage to the tone bars and frame parts or topple the
instrument, which is extremely dangerous.
• Do not turn the instrument over when its case is not
closed, the pins which hold the tone bars in place
may become damaged.
• Do not use the Glockenspiel's hard mallets on
vibraphones or other mallet instruments. The
resulting dents or scratches on the other instrument's
tone bars could impair the sound.
■ Moving and Transporting the Instrument
• Keep the instrument in its closed case if it is to be
moved or transported, or not to be used for a period
of time. The case will protect the instrument from
dust and damage due to accidents.
• Even in its case, the instrument is susceptible to
shock. Use care whenever moving the instrument.
Never drop or throw the instrument for any reason.
■ Maintenance
The tone bars should be wiped with a soft dry cloth.
Never use thinner, benzene, or a wet cloth for cleaning
purposes.
