Description

Gon Bops proudly presents custom percussion instruments crafted by Pete Engelhart. Each bell is handmade one at a time in his Berkeley, California shop and features his signature stamp. The bell triangle is hand-welded and left in a raw state, with only a clear coat applied to protect the metal surface. Each Gon Bops bell is pitch-tuned by Pete’s discerning ear, making them more like sonic works of art that grow sweeter with age. No two bells are alike, and each one is painted red on the inside, which is Pete’s signature color.

Pete’s triangle bells are equipped with the patented Gon Bops V-Clamp mounting system, offering both strength and versatility. Highly regarded as one of the most innovative percussion makers in recent times, Pete Engelhart has garnered respect among drumming elites. Influential artists such as Terry Bozzio, Airto, and Alex Acuña have praised his unique musical vision and have used his groundbreaking percussion instruments in movie soundtracks and high-profile recordings for decades.
