What is GRP:Orff Instruments that appears in the Instruments.txt? More

Best.

More specifically, Orff instruments are pitched mallet percussion
instruments--Xylophones, Metalophones, and Glockenspiels in various
sizes and tunings--intended for use in schools by children who are
being taught using Carl Orff's methodology of whole-body involvement
using both dance and percussion instruments.
GAP is more than likely a particular brand name, one which my wife
(who is Orff-certified) feels is not nearly as good as the original
Orff brand instruments.
