Tuned Percussion Section
The 13th has a long tradition of using bell-lyras being one of the UK's first Scout Bands to introduce them. The band orginally started with two upright bell-lyras which was increased to five later on. In 1973 the band's melodic percussion section was revamped by the selling of the uprights and the purchasing of the two flat Premier glockenspiels. One marimba and one xylophone were also bought, which are still used today. The section was then further increased to include a total of six glockenspiels.
