Known for its distinctive, mechanical clatter, the ratchet plays an important role in creating dramatic and percussive sound effects, particularly in classical and cinematic repertoire. Built with premium materials and precise engineering, the TMOR offers reliable performance in any formal music setting.

Materials and Build Quality

The Meinl TMOR features a durable wooden frame and handle, paired with a smooth-spinning gear mechanism that delivers consistent, powerful sound with minimal effort. The natural wood construction not only provides a classic aesthetic but also contributes to the instrument’s warm resonance and overall acoustic projection.

Engineered for both sound and comfort, the ratchet’s ergonomic handle ensures secure grip and control, allowing for long, continuous rolls without player fatigue. The internal gear teeth are designed to produce a crisp, high-volume rattling sound that projects clearly across orchestral textures or large performance venues.

It’s frequently called for in works by composers like Ravel, Stravinsky, and Shostakovich, and is essential in film scoring and dramatic live performances. The TMOR offers a reliable, musical response that can be modulated by the speed and intensity of the player’s rotation.
