Tubular bell hammer

The hammer heads are made of particularly robust black hornwood or laminated wood. Depending on the grip position, the conical hornbeam shafts enable excellent balance and dynamic control.

The slightly convex end and the rounded edges of the bare wood side of the head prevent any splintering of the material, even during intensive use. 

A 2mm-thick cowhide disc glued on to the flat side of the head enables a soft yet full-sounding stroke on the tubular bells.
