A glockenspiel is played upright. The player faces the instrument. It can be carried by a band member in a belt holder as he marches around. A xylophone lies flat. The player stands alongside the instrument.

What is the difference between un pitched and pitched in percussion?
Pitched percussion instruments include examples such as the xylophone, or the glockenspiel, both of which of defined note values that you hit. That is, you can play a "C", "D", "E" etc on a glockenspiel or xylophone, but you do not have partiulcar notes for, say, a drumkit or cymbal set. These are unpitched. The quick way to know if an instrument is pitched is to find out if you are hitting a particular note, or set of notes on the instrument. If you are, it's pitched. If not, it's unpitched.
