Sold by Sound Oasis · Accra Metropolitan

The instrument shown in the image is a marching glockenspiel, also frequently referred to as a bell lyre or lyra due to its characteristic U-shaped frame. It is a percussion instrument featuring tuned metal bars—typically made of a high-strength aluminum alloy—that produce bright, resonant tones when struck with mallets. This specific model appears to have 27 notes, a common configuration for portable marching band kits.
