Cencerros f - f4 arranged as in a keyboard on 3 mobile combination stands.

 

By order of the Stuttgart and Baden-Baden broadcasting organisations Bernhard Kolberg produced the first set of cencerros comprising four octaves for "Et expecto ressurectionem mortuorum" by Olivier Messiaen in 1971.

 

The cowbells can be arranged for one player (stands one behind the other, in stepped heights) or for several players (stands side by side, e. g. as needed for Messiaen).

 

Rangef - f4 (4 octaves), international F3 - F7
Pitch443 Hz (other pitches on request)

 

Construction cencerros/cowbells

Cencerros made of sheet steel (hot-dip copper galvanised), produced exclusively for Kolberg Percussion as orchestra instruments.

 

Sound

Cencerros/cowbells are folkloristic instruments. They are similar in sound to the traditional cowbells. Due to manufacturing procedures deviations in form and thus in sound might occur.

 

Stands

Three mobile combination stands with fully locking swivel casters Ø 75 mm. The stands are height adjustable and can be completely disassembled.
