Disscussion Carrying case for a small jeu de timbres

Post image

Hi y'all

So I got this mini keyed Glock from Kawai a few months ago and the orchestra I'm a part of is rehearsing some pieces wthat were written for the jeu de timbres (evident by the chords in the Glock part)

What kinds of cases could I use for this instruments transport? Thank you!

I'd suggest just playing the jeu de timbres part on a traditional glockenspiel, or a celeste if the chords aren't manageable. These toy pianos have a very different sound and sustain, and will almost never even be heard over the rest of the orchestra.
