These Adams tubular bells deliver a classic, resonant tone ideal for orchestral and film scoring applications. The A=443 tuning gives them a particularly pleasing, slightly aged quality that’s a welcome departure from the more common A=440. They're a premium-priced investment, but the build quality and sound justify it for serious orchestral percussionists.
