  • Black Swamp Multisonic Concert Snare

    Four independent strand sets on one drum

    Concert percussion · United States

    The Multisonic carries four separate snare units — cable, coil, gut, and steel — each engaged independently, so a player can change the drum's character mid-piece rather than changing drums. It is a fixture in American orchestras.

  • Grover Projection-Plus Tambourine

    The most recorded orchestral tambourine

    Concert percussion · United States

    Grover's Projection-Plus tambourines use a stepped shell and hand-hammered jingles, and they are on a very large share of orchestral recordings made since the 1990s.

  • Lefima Concert Bass Drum

    Lightweight composite shells

    Concert percussion · Germany

    Lefima builds concert and marching bass drums with composite shells that cut a large drum's weight substantially, which matters most when a player has to carry it.

  • Studio 49 Orff Xylophone

    Removable-bar xylophone for the classroom

    Concert percussion · Germany

    Studio 49's Orff instruments have removable bars so a teacher can leave only the notes of a chosen scale in place, which is the pedagogical idea the Schulwerk is built on.

  • Zildjian Crotales

    Tuned bronze discs

    Concert percussion · United States

    Crotales are small thick tuned discs played with a hard mallet or bowed, sold in chromatic octave sets, and Zildjian's are the ones most orchestral parts assume.

  • Yamaha CSM Concert Snare

    Maple orchestral snare

    Concert percussion · Japan

    The CSM series is Yamaha's concert snare: a thin maple shell, a choice of strand sets, and the tolerances that make a section of them match each other.

  • Deagan Tower Chimes

    Tuned tubular bells for buildings

    Concert percussion · United States

    Deagan built tuned chimes for churches and civic buildings as well as for orchestras, and many of those installations are still ringing.

  • Adams Chimes

    Tubular bells with a damper pedal

    Concert percussion · Netherlands

    Adams' chimes are the tubular bells most often seen in European orchestras, with a damper pedal and a frame that can be moved by one player.

  • Majestic Prophonic Concert Snare

    The Dutch maker's orchestral snare

    Concert percussion · Netherlands

    Prophonic concert snares are offered in maple and in a thin metal shell, with cable and gut snare options, and are widely used in European orchestras and conservatories.

  • Adams Concert Bass Drum

    Philharmonic bass drum on a suspension frame

    Concert percussion · Netherlands

    Adams builds concert bass drums in the large diameters orchestral repertoire needs, on tilting suspension frames that let the drum be played horizontally or at an angle.

  • Pearl Philharmonic Concert Snare

    Pearl's orchestral snare line

    Concert percussion · Japan

    The Philharmonic series covers maple, African mahogany, and brass concert snares with gut, cable, or wire strand options, and is Pearl's contribution to the orchestral catalogue rather than the drum-set one.

  • Majestic Concert Bass Drum

    Suspended orchestral bass drum

    Concert percussion · Netherlands

    Majestic's concert bass drums hang in a suspension frame rather than resting on legs, so the shell is free to resonate, and are supplied in the diameters standard repertoire calls for.

  • Black Swamp Concert Tambourine

    Tambourines specified by jingle alloy

    Concert percussion · United States

    Black Swamp's tambourines are catalogued by the metal of the jingles — German silver, beryllium copper, chromium, and combinations — because that, more than the shell, determines whether the instrument sits in an orchestral texture or on top of it.

  • Kolberg Concert Bass Drum

    German orchestral bass drum

    Concert percussion · Germany

    Kolberg's concert bass drums are built to order in a range of diameters with suspension stands that let the shell resonate, and are common in German-speaking orchestras.

  • Grover Concert Snare Drum

    Orchestral snare with adjustable strand sets

    Concert percussion · United States

    Grover's concert snares are built around interchangeable snare units and thin shells, aimed at the same repertoire the Multisonic serves and with a comparable following.

  • Black Swamp Triangle

    Orchestral triangles by alloy and bar profile

    Concert percussion · United States

    A triangle's pitch spread and sustain come from its bar alloy and cross-section, and Black Swamp sells them as distinct instruments rather than as one accessory.

  • Grover Castanets

    Mounted and hand castanets for the orchestra

    Concert percussion · United States

    Orchestral castanet writing usually needs a mounted pair a player can roll on, and Grover makes both those and the handheld sets in graded timbers.

  • Black Swamp SoundArt Concert Snare

    Single-strand concert snare

    Concert percussion · United States

    SoundArt is the Multisonic's simpler sibling: one strand set, a maple or steel shell, and the same bearing edges and hardware, at a price a conservatory can buy in numbers.

  • Studio 49 Orff Metallophone

    Sustained metal bars for Orff ensembles

    Concert percussion · Germany

    The metallophone gives the Orff ensemble its sustained voice, with thick aluminium bars over a resonator box and the same removable-bar system as the wooden instruments.
