Great as far as I can tell.
Sleigh Ride... 23.02.2021
So I bought these Sleigh Bells with the hope of a Christmas session in the living room with the family during 2020. Any song becomes a Christmas song with Sleigh Bells, right?

I listened to all the sound clips and chose the ones that I thought sounded the "most authentic". The one thing I forgot was that my living room is not a concert hall. And you know what is coming next :-).

Playing these bells normally means that they are quite loud. They have a low WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor) in a home environment, and I was hoping my wife was going to be the principle player.

They seem well made, and sound great. They are a bit on the heavy side, but to me they are comfortable to hold and are easier to control than feather weights. You can play a full crescendo, but playing soft for a long time is difficult, I think. I don't play percussion, so I don't really have a lot to compare with, and maybe it is just bad technique from my side.

Great for an orchestra or band, but for some casual acoustic playing in a normal sized room, piano, guitars, violins etc, they can over power the other instruments.

I purchased these bells for use by my community choir for the Christmas season. They are built really well and of solid construction. The main thing is that they sound authentic with a lovely crisp sound. Well recommended!
