A pair of hand-welded steel bells and a drum-style bell with the V-Grip mounting system.
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 himself and stamped with his signature. The shield bell is hand-welded
and left raw, with only a clear coat to protect the metal's surface. The instrument is 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.
Pete's Gon Bops shield bell is 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.
