The Weiss Bell Plate is crafted from chrome-plated metal. Its dimensions are 9" by 8" and it produces a clear, bright tone, making it suitable for a wide range of musical styles. The plate can be played either by being held in the hand or suspended on...
I use this bell plate often with my gongs.
It plays well with my 10 and 12 inch accent Chau gongs.
Can't beat the price.
Wish y'all had other notes as well in this price range.
Nice sound and sustain.
Probably going to fabricate a different hanger to keep strings and knot off of the plate.
Mine is 426.7Hz.
Highly recommend.
The staff here is extremely helpful as well.

A nice bell plate delivered quickly
Comments:
This is a chrome-plated, 8 7/8" x 7 7/8" x 1/8" steel plate suspended 1/2" from the shorter edge. It's fundamental is approximately B-flat, a minor third below my old plate. It was made in Pakistan. The delivery to the MD suburbs of DC only took a few days.

Great Sound!
Comments:
This is a great sounding bell tone at a reasonable price. I'm in a Beatles tribute band. This is perfect for the fire bell clang on "Penny Lane" . This is well made, and the rope is strong. I recommend the Liberty One Wind Gong Adaptor (SW-WGA) to hang it from.

Great old versatile sound effect!
Comments:
I've been looking a long time for a bell plate gong! Boy, was I glad to finally find this quality item at Steve Weiss Percussion (along with many other "vintage" sound effects). The plate, suspended on a quality rope, has a great bell tone, and will not disappoint you in the versatility it can provide in all types of music/soundtracks. My favorite use is as a water gong - hit the plate, lower it slowly into a container of water, and you have the classic water gong mournful sound that pervades suspense thrillers, horror movies, etc. This is a must have for any percussionist, and the Steve Weiss product rules!

bell plate
Comments:
catalog photo gives the impression that the plate is hammered in some way. not true-it's a flat shiny surface. nice variety of sound and pitch differences from center to edges, when played with various beaters, sticks and mallets. especially good for a plate this small.
