 Cal Percussion * About: Glockenspiels
Instead, the essence of a mallet percussion section has been captured in the Cal Band with the usage of the marching glockenspiel, a portable instrument similar in structure to the xylophone or bells, and played with a single mallet.
Due to its nature, however, with high-stepping and a gridded show charting system, the Cal Band was never able to incorporate a pit section.
This is unique amongst the other Cal Percussion instruments, which have changed over time to move with the flow of the contemporary marching percussion world.

 percussion instrument
Percussion instruments can be divided into those that can be tuned to produce a sound of definite pitch, such as the timpani, tubular bells, glockenspiel, xylophone, and piano, and those of indefinite pitch, including the bass drum, tambourine, triangle, cymbals, castanets, and gong.
These instruments were often used by Witold Lutoslawski in his orchestral works; the glockenspiel is a small keyboard of aluminium alloy keys played with small beaters; the xylophone has hardwood, rather than metal, bars, and is played using hard-headed beaters to give a distinctive ‘pop’ to the sound.
Musical instrument played by being struck with the hand or a beater, crashed, shaken, or scraped.
