Where to buy a xylophone/glockenspiel?

[rockstar]

Does anyone know of a music store in Calgary that carries xylophones and glockenspiels? I'm thinking of getting one for a friend for Christmas. I haven't checked Long & Mcqaude yet, but the rock 'n roll / guitar and drums-based shops haven't had anything of this variety.

Thanks.

I bet St John's Music can help you. They probably have the xylophone in stock, and they can probably order a glockenspiel. They supply instruments to school band programs around southern Alberta, and are part of a national chain, so they carry a more instruments than just drums and guitars.

Man, what is Activision waiting for? I eagerly await their release of "Glockenspiel Hero".

I'm surprised this many people have correctly spelled 'Glockenspiel.'

Easily the most fun instrument to pronounce and spell. To play however, is less entertaining....

Actually, bodhran gives me more trouble than glockenspiel. I'm never sure whether there's an "h" in the word or not. And once I get that figured out, I'm totally confused as to whether I'm supposed to pronounce the "d" or the "h". I know it's one or the other, not both, but I don't have a clue which. I can remember glockenspiel because it's so much fun to pronounce ... it sounds like something I threw up at a 24-hour, all-you-can-drink curling bonspiel once.
