The Auris Glockenspiels are finely tuned and have a clear, pure overtone. With their crystal clear spherical tones they create a particularly lovely sound experience. The Diatonic 8 tone glockenspiel is crafted for the younger child, with eight bars that span a full octave of notes with no sharps or flats. The names of the notes are engraved on the brass bars.

The chime bars of the Auris Glockenspiel consist of a metal alloy. They are coated with a fine layer of beeswax which enhances the soft, natural shine of the brass. The resonating body made of maple wood is treated with wood varnish and beeswax polish.
