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.

Holder

• Cencerros/cowbells (f - e1): mounted holder for the Kolberg combination stand system, fitting sliding holders Ø 16 mm (e.g. 266, 267, 268).
• Cencerros/cowbells (f1 - f4): mounted holder resp. rubber mounting-piece for the Kolberg combination stand system, fitting sliding holders Ø 10 mm (e.g. 260, 261, 262, 263, 265). The rubber mounting-pieces mounted on the smaller cencerros ensure free development of sound without disturbing side noises through annoying vibrabion of the stand.
