Description

In this episode of Young Musicians, Olivia Chiu interviews Bella Lin (both of B5.4).

Bella demonstrates the sound of her Glockenspiel and then we hear her Marimba performance as part of Ju Percussion (Jiantan) playing Island Jam #7 (by Patrick Glenn Harper).

What is the difference between the Glockenspiel and Marimba?

glockenspiel, (German: “set of bells”); a percussion instrument, originally a set of graduated bells, later a set of tuned steel bars (i.e., a metallophone)  

marimba: a percussion instrument consisting of a set of wooden bars struck with yarn wrapped or rubber mallets to produce musical tones
