Italian term or phrase: Percussioni chiare
My client writes: "sono quelle con suono più leggero e metallico (triangolo, piatti e piattini, campane a vento, campanelli, sonagli, glockenspiele, vibrafono...), è un modo di definirle proprio dei musicisti"

Pitched percussion
Explanation:
From a short research on the internet, I've found out percussion can be classified based on whether it's tuned/pitched or untuned/unpitched. The pitched instruments produce musical notes, while the unpitched ones produce sounds of indefinite pitch.
Examples of tuned percussion instruments: xylophone, marimba, vibraphone...
Examples of untuned percussion instruments: gong, tamburines, claves, bass drum...
