- School and community band percussion sections
- Orchestral parts calling for a bright, sustained triangle

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
B8 bronze
SABIAN's entry-level bronze alloy. Consistent tone and more musical ring than plated steel triangles.
Detail 03
Solid bar construction
Rings for several seconds after a strike, so you damp it by hand when the part stops.
Detail 04
Band and orchestral series
Voiced for ensemble playing, meaning it projects rather than sitting politely in the mix.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Beater and clip are separate purchases unless stated in the box
- 02You need a triangle clip or holder to let it ring freely
- 03Handling the bar with bare hands leaves oils that dull the finish
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does it come with a beater?
Assume not. Triangles are commonly sold as the bar alone, so budget for a beater and a clip if you don't already own them.
02Is 6 inches the right size for concert band?
Yes. Six inches is the standard workhorse size for concert band and orchestra parts, bright enough to cut through without being shrill.
03What is B8 bronze?
SABIAN's entry-level bronze alloy, used across their budget lines. It gives a consistent, musical ring compared to plated or stamped steel triangles.
04How do I stop it ringing?
Grab the bar with your free hand. A solid bronze triangle sustains for several seconds, so damping is part of playing the part correctly.
