Sleigh Bells

Post by fuzzjunkie » Fri Dec 24, 2010 10:51 am

Put my jingle bells up on the door last weekend. I hear they rock!

24" leather strap about 2" wide with eight 1.5" balls. I find the smaller balls have too much treble. I wonder if a belt with seven balls might have more odd order harmonics though?

:P

I'd like to get a nice vintage set of sleigh bells, but I don't know much about the different brands. Are the Japanese knock-off ones any good? Can anyone tell me what model is used in this song? It starts around the 0:26 mark:
