Has great tones available all over the body, whether you need the subtlety of light touch for a gentle breakdown or you just need more Saturday Night Live cowbell. Hand-held or racked up, this does the job.
Cons- needed a little more work to eliminate overtones than I expected. Particularly when racked up. The muffles supplied with the bell just didn't cut it. But with a bit of work, you'll get there.
Pros- the variety of sounds and volumes available are amazing.
The bell looks cool, the workmanship seems to be tip-top.
