Meinl Percussion STB80BHH-S 8-Inch Big Mouth Hand Hammered Steel Cowbell

The strong fundamental tone of these cowbells makes them a unique alternative to all other bells on the market. Each bell has its own character.

• HAND HAMMERED SURFACE: Meinl Hammered Cowbells get their sound shaped by hand hammering the steel; you can see craters on the surface, and this hammering brings out dark undertones with a lower pitch
• WHY IT MATTERS: you’ll get an extra-dark punch that lifts your grooves with deep sound; this bell’s frequencies sit lower than most traditional (non-hammered) cowbells
• DRIVING THE SOUND: made with a special steel alloy that produces a clear-cutting attack note with medium sustain that fills the space
• ONE BIG THING: you can mount this cowbell to easily position in your setup; its 3/8” eye bolt tightens down fast on a cymbal stand or percussion rod with a secure hold that stays in place
• OF NOTE: you can change the sustain with Meinl’s Cowbell Cushion, Drum Honey, or Magnetic Cymbal Tuners (each sold separately); these accessories dampen overtones and ring for an old-school cowbell tone
• BY THE NUMBERS: this cowbell measures 8” L (not including mount) and produces a low pitch; the pitch gets lower as length and mouth size increases
• THE BOTTOM LINE: the Meinl Hammered Cowbell will do the trick if you want a deep and present bell tone for your next recording or live gig
• THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality
