Pearl’s new 8” Guiro Cowbell features sturdy steel construct designed to take a beating. When played as a cowbell, the ribbed side produces a dryer tone and the opposite side produces a traditional open cowbell tone. The ribbed Guiro side features 9 parallel ridges that produce a ratchet sound when played like a traditional Guiro. All Pearl cowbells come with a self-adhesive rubber mute if you need to control the volume. The bell’s mounting bracket accepts a 3/8” post and black powder coated finish allow it to blend in, but its tone will get you noticed. The Primer Guiro cowbell is perfectly suited for traditional cowbell applications plus it can be played as a Guiro or for additional sound-effects.
