Definición

  • Individual percussion vessels, owing to the solidity and elasticity of their substance, vibrate and radiate sound when struck with non-sonorous objects (hand, stick, striker). The vibration is weakest near the apex from which the instrument is suspended. The bell has no internal striker; the player creates clearly defined individual strokes on its external surface, using a separate beater. (en)
