Who Are The Glockenspiel Superstars?

Hey! We have one here in Calgary. It’s pretty big.

Wait, we have two. The other one is pretty big too, but it is digital.

No clue on the glockenspiel superstars though.

The distinction drawn is that Frank’s is portable. (After a fashion.) :smiley:

When I hear the word glockenspiel the name that leaps to mind is Mike Oldfield.

I think of Don McCloskey and “My Focken Glockenspiel”.

There’s a couple carillons in the Chicago area, as well. There’s one at University of Chicago’s Rockefeller Chapel and at least one other one in Naperville, near the riverwalk.
When I was a kid, my piano teacher took me to U of C and I got to meet the carillon player and see him in action. I also vaguely remember a carillon being featured on some PBS kids show, perhaps Mr. Rogers.
