Meinl Percussion
Models: 12 · Categories: 1
Roland Meinl founded the company in Bavaria in 1951, and while the cymbal side is better known to drummers, the percussion division is one of the largest in the world: congas, cajons, djembes, and an enormous catalogue of small instruments. Meinl's cajon range in particular is the widest of any maker.

Categories: 1 · Models: 1
Ayasa is one of the workshops that grew up after PANArt stopped making the Hang, tuning nitrided steel shells to named scales rather than to a single fixed layout — which is how handpans are bought now.
