With a spring and two steel bars, in addition to the thin steel head-type surfaces, this set of satellite
bells will provide extraordinary sonic possibilities.
The Pete Engelhart Satellite Bell consisists of 2 handmade metal bells plus 2 steel bars and a spring
that provide a variety of intriguing metallic sounds when you strike the different surfaces. A mounting bracket is included.
Gon Bops is proud to present Pete Engelhart custom percussion instruments. Made one at a time in his Berkeley, California
shop, each bell is handcrafted by Pete Engelhart himself and stamped with his signature. Each Gon Bops bell is hand-welded
and left raw, with only a clear coat to protect the metal's surface. The instruments are then pitch-tuned by Pete's discerning
ear. More like sonic works of art, Engelhart bells only grow sweeter with age. No two bells are alike, and each one is painted
red on the inside, Pete's signature color.
All of Pete's Gon Bops bells are fitted with the patented Gon Bops V-Clamp
mounting system, which provides strength and versatility.
Highly regarded as one of the most innovative percussion
makers in recent times, Pete Engelhart has made a name for himself among drumming's elite. Artists such as Terry Bozzio, Airto,
and Alex Acuna have praised his unique musical vision and have been using his groundbreaking percussion instruments on movie
soundtracks and high-profile recordings for decades.
