Materials and Craftsmanship
-
Material: Cast from pure bronze with an appropriate proportion of tin and lead, ensuring the bell bodies are sturdy and have excellent acoustic performance.

Patinas: The naturally – formed red – copper and green patinas are well – layered and have a simple and unsophisticated color, which is an important sign of their long history.
