Cloches French?


Description:

Mentioned only by Irwin, who describes it as �small metal bars, single stroke�. He refers to a tuned percussion stop in which the bars are struck by hammers, actuated by an electrical or pneumatic mechanism. The French word means �bells�. It is not clear how this stop differs from the Glockenspiel.
