Detail 01
Add-on only
Ships as the accidental bars and their frame. There is no resonator box or base — the host instrument supplies that.

Studio 49Series 1600 Orff Glockenspiels Chromatic Alto Add-On Only, H-Ga
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The chromatic add-on bar set for a Studio 49 1600 series alto glockenspiel. It extends an instrument you already own; it is not playable alone.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Classrooms adding sharps and flats to an existing alto glockenspiel
- Programs moving students from pentatonic to chromatic material
- Replacing a lost or damaged accidental bar set
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone without a matching 1600 series alto glockenspiel
- First-time buyers who need a complete instrument
- Owners of soprano or bass models — range must match
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Chromatic
Adds the sharps and flats, so students can play in keys the diatonic bars alone cannot reach.
Detail 03
Alto range
Pitched to sit with an alto glockenspiel. A soprano or bass instrument will not line up correctly.
Detail 04
Series 1600
Studio 49 sizes bars and frames per series. Mixing series risks bars that do not seat or align.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Verify your instrument is a 1600 series alto glockenspiel before ordering

- 03Measure your existing bars if the model number has worn off
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I play this on its own?
No. It is an add-on set of accidental bars that sits with a 1600 series alto glockenspiel. Without the host instrument there is nothing to mount it to.
02Will it fit my soprano glockenspiel?
No. This one is cut for the alto range. Studio 49 makes a separate soprano add-on — order the version that matches your instrument.
03Are mallets included?
No. Use the mallets you already play the host glockenspiel with; the added bars need nothing different.
04Why is it so much cheaper than a full instrument?
You are buying bars and their frame, not a complete instrument with base and resonators. The cost of the box is already covered by the glockenspiel you own.
