Whether used in orchestras, winter concerts, holiday performances, or studio sessions, this sleigh bell set brings crisp, cheerful sound with every shake.

Materials and Build Quality

The SLB36 features 36 high-quality steel bells securely mounted on a sturdy wooden frame. Each bell is carefully positioned to ensure even spacing and consistent tone.

The dual handle design allows for comfortable two-handed grip, giving players full control over dynamics and articulation. The ergonomic wooden handles are smooth, well-balanced, and easy to hold during extended use. The craftsmanship is robust and built to handle the demands of professional performance and frequent handling.
