ADAMS GCV33

The new Adams Artist and Concert Series Round Top Parsifal Bells are made of high quality steel that have been custom formulated especially for Adams. The bells exactly match the specifications of the “round top Deagan Parsifal bells” which many international musicians feel set the standard for quality and sound. Adams has designed the new bells with the right timbre, resonance and tone that match the characteristics of the 1920’s American sound.

The Concert Series GCV-33 and GCF-33 feature a 3.3 octave (C-E) range including Powder Coated Steel Resonators and Adams’ Patented Height Adjustable Voyager or Field Frame. The advantage of a Voyager/Field frame over a case is that a case will always give a noise that is amplified by the sound box. Placing the bells on a Voyager/Field frame will therefore be a convenient and mobile solution. All bars are 1.25” wide (inch and a quarter) and 7/16” thick with the highest quality satin nickel plating which prevents any bright glare under stage lighting. Another major Artist Series feature is the Patent Pending Reversible Damper System. This system allows the notes to be easily and effectively pedal dampened like a vibraphone or reverse-depending on the player’s preference.

These models in concert bells are just right for both professional and amateur ensembles. Their unique features and custom made steel set them apart from any other instrument made in the world today. The combination of their sparkling "vintage" sound, with sturdy modern construction techniques will make them everyone's number one choice.
