Hand Percussion

The Latin Percussion ES-12 bell uses a 4.75" brushed steel body that produces a clear sound with well-tuned harmonics. The low tone gives it that recognisable cha-cha-cha character. It attaches to a 3/8" stem and holds securely thanks to the LP forged assembly.

The Latin Percussion ES-12 Salsa Cha-Cha bell is made in the USA from brushed steel, giving it a clean appearance and stable resonance.

Its 4.75" size gives it a low pitch that remains in the spirit of traditional salsa bells. The harmonics are tuned to match the typical cha-cha-cha timbre.

The strike triggers a clear sound that pierces well without becoming aggressive. The forged LP eyelet ensures reliable attachment to any 3/8" stem, preventing unwanted movement during fast patterns.

The bell responds equally well when played mounted or in hand, especially when you want to muffle the sound slightly to vary the colours. The brushed steel maintains a precise attack that stays the same even after long sessions.

The instrument retains that straightforward salsa character that percussionists are looking for to establish the groove in a Latino ensemble!

Latin Percussion was founded in 1964 in New York by Martin Cohen, who found it difficult to source musical instruments, partly because of import restrictions on Cuba following the 1962 missile crisis. It was impossible to buy congas, bongos and the like, so he made them himself! After a few unsuccessful attempts, he began to create good instruments, to establish himself on the market and then to become one of the leaders! He even became an exporter, so well known was his catalogue of products around the world!

Latin Percussion, also known as LP, is a brand of musical instruments specialising in ethnic percussion instruments. They are built to withstand the rigours of intensive use, on a drum kit, in an orchestra or other application. There's a real desire to innovate and give musicians something extra to play with, without losing any of the sensations.
