Bowed Glockenspiel
Stef finally got his glockenspiel back. He was interested using a bow with it, but weren't any videos on the web showing how it's done or how it sounds, so we took the initiative and created one ourselves. With my little Flip cam taped to our floor lamp, we were able to get an awesome angle of the glockenspiel. I edited the parts together and Stef worked a bit on the sound. 'Twas a fun little project.

I'm interested in writing some music involving bowed glockenspiel and bowed vibraphone, is this bowed technique common enough on glockenspiel that your average orchestral percussionist would be able to replicate it? Is a bass bow also preferred for bowing glock?
