When used in a [[Marching band|marching]] or [[military band]], the bars are sometimes mounted in a portable case and held vertically, sometimes in a [[lyre]]-shaped frame. However, the bars may be held horizontally, using a harness similar to that found on a [[Snare drum|marching snare]]. In [[orchestra]]l use, the bars are mounted horizontally.

Larger sets of glockenspiel (i.e., sets three octaves or larger) are often equipped with a [[sustain pedal]], not unlike that of a [[vibraphone]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Brief Description – Vienna Symphonic Library|url=https://www.vsl.co.at/en/Percussions/Glockenspiel|access-date=2021-05-25|website=www.vsl.co.at}}</ref>
