      @RReger 16 дней назад

      Thanks for all that, Kyle. I always appreciate your feedback. Yeah, I discovered this Italian company Azzam Bells that makes these unique, cool little percussion instruments that do a great job of generating unusual tones. I honestly can't remember how I stumbled on them, but I probably saw something they made featured in a YT video. They're very distinctive looking. What's great is that they all come with internal pickups and have 1/4" output jacks, so you can amplify them and also run them through effects pedals to generate even more interesting sounds. Their U.S. distributor is Etsy, so if you search for Azzam Bells on Etsy, you can see the range of their instruments.
