How to choose the best triangles
Material & Gauge
Grover uses hand-selected, high-grade steel, typically around 0.032" to 0.042" depending on the size. This isn't some brittle, thin metal - it's got enough meat to it to produce a full, resonant tone that doesn't collapse quickly. Thinner triangles can be brighter, but they lack sustain and projection.
Tuning & Temperament
Grover triangles are meticulously tuned, often to specific frequencies requested by orchestras. While most players don't obsess over precise pitch, the consistent tuning across their line means you're getting a predictable and reliable result. That's critical for ensemble playing.
Suspension System
The suspension wire and mounting hardware are surprisingly important. Grover uses a flexible, low-tension system that allows the triangle to vibrate freely, maximizing sustain and responsiveness. Cheap triangles often use stiff wires that dampen the sound.
Finish & Durability
Grover's finish isn't flashy, it's functional. It's designed to resist corrosion and wear, which is essential for gigging percussionists. This isn't a fragile museum piece; it's built to withstand regular handling and transport.
Tone Characteristics
Grover triangles don't have a harsh, icy shimmer. They offer a warm, bell-like tone with a clear fundamental and a pleasing decay. It's a tone that sits beautifully in an orchestral mix or cuts through a rock band without being overly aggressive - that sweet spot of clarity and warmth.
Buying guide
Let's be honest, a triangle is a triangle, right? Wrong. You'd be surprised how much variation there is in tone and build quality, and when you're trying to nail that shimmering, bell-like accent in a film score or cut through a noisy rock band, you need something reliable. Grover Pro Percussion has quietly been the standard for professional triangles for decades, and for good reason - they just sound right, and they're built to last.
Don't be swayed by cheap imitations; you really do get what you pay for. The smaller sizes (6" to 8") are great for detail work and quieter passages, while the larger ones (10" and up) are better for projection. Grover's consistency across sizes is a huge benefit.
Check the gauge - thinner triangles can be brighter, but often lack the sustain to be truly useful. It's an investment, but a well-maintained Grover triangle will outlast several cheaper alternatives.

Questions
