Adjusting the tone bar height
CAUTION
Holding down both low and high register side side frames, loosen the slide guide fixing bolts.
After adjusting the instrument to a comfortable height, tighten the slide guide fixing bolts to secure. Use
the guide lines on the slide legs as a reference and adjust the height so that the instrument's playing
surface is parallel to the floor.
After assembly is complete, make sure all nuts and bolts are tightened firmly.

The brown felt attached to both sides of the glockenspiel's main unit and the cardboard attached at two positions on the
low register side are part of the packing materials used to hold the tone bars in place. After assembly is complete, pull
on the felt and cardboard to remove.
When loosening the slide guide fixing bolts be sure to hold down the side frame
from above. The side frame can suddenly rise which is extremely dangerous.
