The story
I sampled a glockenspiel(Bells) last year for Christian’s Systems Music. I used Studio One’s Presence XT editor, not a common format. After I downloaded Decent Sampler, I thought this instrument would be a good place to start learning.
This is a simple instrument. There are no round robins. I did sample every note of the bells.

Charming Bells
What I like best about this glockenspiel is the almost celesta like quality. This sample pack lacks the sharp attack one usually associates with glockenspiel, but that's just fine. This instrument is different from what you might expect, but is perhaps more usable because of that difference. It's instantly playable and inspiring. This is a worthy download to be sure.
Bright Bells
I use this instrument repeatedly. The recordings are nice and clean. I often use glockenspiel type instruments but prefer the sound to be soft and this instrument fits the bill really well. Nice and simple.
Nice resonant bells
This is a fairly simple bell instrument that is nicely sampled and offers a very resonant sound signature that sits mostly in the high range. The noise is super minimal and the included reverb is nice. Be sure to lower the volume a little bit because by default it is set very high, and such resonance won't get unnoticed.
Nice Resonant Tone
This is a nice, fairly soft glockenspiel type sound that can add some nice resonance and high end sparkle to a score. I often like to layer stuff like this ontop of darker pianos to reinforce certain melodic lines. There are a few similar instruments on pianobook that i prefer to this like DK Frozen Glock and Confinement Celeste but this is still a quality instrument that can br very useful. As i said, the attack is softer than most similar instruments so that could be a good reason to use it in a certain scenario
