Best Answer

A glockenspiel is a misical instrument that comes in the percussion family. They are sometimes used in Marching Bands. You use rubber mallets to hit the bars. It actually looks like a xylophone. To find a picture of a glockenspiel go to "Google" and click on images, then type in Glockenspiel.

(Note: Whoops, somebody changed the question...It originally asked the difference between a vibraphone and a glockenspiel)

No. They are both in the same family of Musical Instruments but the glockenspiel has no additional moving parts. The vibraphone has tubes below with spinning butterfly valves that cause the sound to warble.
