These cowbells are available in a natural steel finish which is thinnly lacquered to prevent discoloration and corrosion.

Sizes currently available are in 8" large mouth, 8" small mouth, 6,25" medium mouth and a small 4,5" small mouth. The Steelbells are Meinl's first offering using a new metal forming process which results in professional level instruments utilizable in virtually any musical setting
