The InfiniTri triangle range. Hand hammered, equilateral shape, orchestral triangles in a proprietary Bronze alloy.
Available in 3 weight ranges - light, medium and heavy and in a range of sizes per weight: 4" to 7" in light, 5" to 9" in medium and 8" to 10" in heavy. Other sizes available by special order.
These triangles are made one at a time - individually hand-hammered, hand bent, and heat treated.
Amsterdam triangle range. Hand hammered, isosceles shape, orchestral triangles in a proprietary Bronze alloy. These triangles are based on the favourite antique 9" triangle owned by the Amsterdam Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra.
The unequal side lengths and unequal angles make for a more complex overtone spectrum while retaining a lot of articulation.
Available in medium weight in sizes 5" to 9" and in light weight in sizes 4" to 7". Other sizes and weights available by special order. Also available in High Carbon Steel for a higher pitched and harder sound.
These triangles are made one at a time - individually hand-hammered, hand bent, and heat treated.
Baroque, "Banda Turca" or "a la Turca" ringed triangles with scrolls on the open ends. These triangles are the authentic period
sound for early Renaissance pieces such as Abduction from the Seraglio or The Barber of Seville. Short very articulate
sound with quite a strong sizzle from the rings hanging on the bottom limb
Available in 8 inch light and 10-1/2 inch medium models.
