PERCUSSION INSTRUMENT
FLAT BELLS (BILAS)
Material: stainless steel alloy. (Originals are made of Bronze)
The birth of a “singing bronze” have become possible thanks to a unique instrument, created by Zhicharev more than 25 years ago. It is a belfry – large wooden frame, from which hang flat rectangular metal plates, called “bilo” or flat bell. Flat bells, sized from several santimeters to a meter, hang by soft rope suspenders and are made from standart bell bronze. (extract from flatbells.com)
