Detail 01
Low octave bar
Crotales come in low and high octaves. Low bars are larger and darker; they will not match a high-octave set.

ZildjianDeluxe Crotale Bar Low
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single low-register crotale bar from Zildjian's Deluxe line. For percussionists filling a gap in a set or needing one specific pitch.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing a lost or damaged bar in an existing set
- Orchestral parts calling for one sustained bell pitch
- Building a crotale set one bar at a time
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a full chromatic octave right away
- Players wanting a mounted, ready-to-play instrument
- Budget buyers — per-bar cost adds up fast across a set
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
Single bar
You are buying one pitch, not a set. Confirm which note you need before ordering.
Detail 03
Bronze crotale
Thick cast bronze rings far longer than a glockenspiel bar, so damping technique matters in ensemble work.
Detail 04
Deluxe line
Zildjian's upper crotale tier, tuned to match other Deluxe bars in the same octave.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a whole set of crotales?
No. This is one bar, one pitch, from the low octave. Full sets are sold separately or built bar by bar.
02Does it come with a stand?
No. The bar ships on its own. You will need a crotale rail or mounting bar to play it in position.
03What mallets should I use?
Brass or hard plastic mallets bring out the bright ring. Softer yarn mallets will mute much of the attack.
04Will it match my high-octave crotales?
It is tuned to the low octave, so it sits an octave below high-octave bars rather than blending into that range.
