Assembly Manual
Ver. 2015.02

Congratulations! You have just purchased the high quality Majestic B7634S / 3.4 octave
professional glockenspiel with dampening pedal system. .
The instrument has been designed with a flat playing surface. This results in a very
even playing feel, which makes very soft and fast passages possible, without having
to adjust the height of your arms.
A flat keyboard results in a better flow of sound through the hall. No interference of
covered bars by accidentals.
Perfect even dampening of naturals and accidentals.
Due to the flat playing surface design, the attack of the bars will be equal when
played on either edge or center.
Minimum distance between the bars, result in a compact, narrow instrument yet the
35 mm wide bars make it suitable for professional use.
Our advanced computer tuning technology makes fine-tuning by grinding or drilling in
the bars unnecessary.
The bars are produced and mounted in a way that the screws and supports do not
affect the intensity of the sound.
The full sound of the instrument is due to optimal use of materials such as high
carbon steel, brass resonator, and high Tec CNC produced solid frame.
