	Glockenspiel - LoveToKnow 1911
		The pyramid-shaped glockenspiel, formerly used in the orchestra for simple rhythmical effects, consists of an octave of semitone, hemispherical bells, placed one above the other and fastened to an iron rod which passes through the centre of each, the bells being of graduated sizes and diminishing in diameter as the pitch rises.
		The lyre-shaped glockenspiel, or steel harmonica (Stahlharmonika), is a newer model, which has instead of bells twelve or more bars of steel, graduating in size according to their pitch.
		Wagner has used the glockenspiel with exquisite judgment in the fire scene of the last act of Die Walkiire and in the peasants' waltz in the last scene of Die Meistersinger.

	"Glockenspiel" Funniest Word In English Language
		A survey of over 5,000 American linguists revealed that scientifically speaking, "Glockenspiel" is the most humourous word found in the English language, a recently-published paper by esteemed linguist Dr. James Poldrop states.
		Though there were "strong contenders" such as "cutlery" and "bona-fide", glockenspiel -- which is simply a percussion instrument consisting of a set of graduated metal bars mounted on a frame and played with small hammers -- ultimately won out as the most consistently funny word.
		Poldrop added that the fact that the sentence does not make any sense with glockenspiel implemented is "perfectly fine", and in fact "increases the humour by tenfold".
