Sabian Single Note Crotale for Rain Tree

These Single Note Crotale were spatially tuned for the piece Rain Tree by Toru Takemitsu. These pitches (A5 - B5) are also referred to as bass crotales.

Sabian Crotales feature countersunk center holes to accept recessed rubber caps, and the bars include shorter mounting pins. This combination allows the caps to sit almost flush with the Crotale surface, greatly reducing the possibility of extraneous noise when performing. This design also allows for greater control of the Crotale while bowing - without compromising the sound.
