The AURIS-Glockenspiel ton bars are made by a special brass alloy that creates the amazing, golden sound. The bars are protected with a thin wax layer that allows you to polish them is they gets darker.

Natural surfaces
The Auris glockenspiel has brass-alloy tones and a maple-wood body. The tone bars are coated with a fine layer of beeswax. The beeswax provides a mild, natural gloss, and it also allows you to restore the bright surface yourself when it loses its shine, due to stains or scratches for example. The easiest way to restore the surface of the tone bars is to use a conventional metal polish or polishing pads, available in any drugstore or supermarket. Applying fresh wax and polishing with a soft cloth may subsequently restore the bars. A well-maintained surface will acquire a fine patina as it ages, and its looks will improve with use.

Scratches
Scratches in the metal tone bars can be treated with very fine steel wool. You must be careful to rub the wool ALONG the tone bar, not across it. Start the process by applying a light pressure to ensure that the wool you’ve chosen produces a structure similar to the original Wooden surfaces

The wooden body has a shellac primer and is finished with a beeswax polish. This gives a very soft “woody” feeling, and makes it easy to protect and preserve. If there are no marks or stains on the wooden body and you just want to shine it up a little, rub it with some beeswax or wood polish on a rough cloth, let it dry and give it a final polish with a smooth cloth.
A deep scratch can be leveled off by wetting it and applying a hot smoothing iron while still wet. Then smooth down with fine sandpaper and polish it as described above. Wax crayon marks can be removed by applying turpentine.
