Meinl Percussion Handheld Bongo Cowbell, 8 Powder Coated Steel

The Meinl handheld bongo cowbell is made with a powder coated steel alloy that provides a tonally rich and warm sound, with naturally muffled overtones resulting from the special steel alloy and coating. This alloy and finish are also highly durable, making the cowbell suitable for even the heaviest road use. The handheld version is designed to be held in the hand while playing, allowing the user to naturally control the projection and overtones by altering their grip. This simple design means it can be easily played by any musician, regardless of their percussion experience.

For percussionists and drummers, the Meinl bongo cowbell can shape virtually any piece of music. Its response can easily cut through the mix or sit back for lower volume settings, and the balanced timbre sounds great under studio microphones. The bell can also open up live on stage, filling large spaces with sound. This cowbell measures 8" long with a medium wide mouth, which gives it a well-rounded, mid-range pitch.

The Meinl Handheld Bongo Cowbell's punchy and balanced tone provides classic bell sounds that are suitable for live or studio use in a variety of musical styles, including salsa, rock, fusion, country, and more. Its manageable size and weight make it easy to play, and the ability to control the ring and sustain by holding the bell near the tapered end further enhances the cowbell's versatility.

The steel alloy used in the construction of the Meinl Handheld Bongo Cowbell delivers clear tone and plenty of volume, while the black powder coating helps to muffle the ring and control the overtones. There is also a selection of Meinl Cowbell Beaters available for use with this bell, each sold separately.

This cowbell measures 8" L x 5 ½" W x 1 ¾" H and has a low pitch, making it a one-tone-fits-all solution that leaves the user prepared with less gear. Its ease of use and high-quality construction make it a reliable choice for any percussionist or drummer.
