What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Brass
Warmer and mellower than steel, with a rounder ping and less piercing top end.
Detail 03
Open bar shape
The gap is why it rings. Closing it with your hand chokes the note — that is your mute control.
Detail 04
$34.95
Entry pricing. Good for learning and casual use rather than a soloist's concert instrument.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01You need a beater and a clip or loop to play it properly.
- 02Hold it by a suspension loop, never in your fist, or the ring dies.
- 03Brass tarnishes with skin contact; store it dry and handle by the loop.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What size triangle should I buy?
6 inch is the common student and studio size: high, quick, easy to control. Larger bars ring longer and carry further in big ensembles.
02Is brass different from steel?
Yes. Brass is warmer and softer-edged. Steel is brighter and cuts harder. For recording, brass is easier to sit in a mix.
03Do I need a beater?
Yes, and the beater changes the sound as much as the triangle. A thin rod gives a light ping; a thicker one gives more body.
04How do I stop it ringing?
Close your fingers around the bar. Damping by hand is standard technique and lets you play short rhythmic figures instead of one long ring.
