Latin Percussion ES-9 Salsa Deep Hand Bell

The Latin Percussion ES-9 Salsa Deep Hand Bell is a purpose-built percussion instrument voiced in collaboration with acclaimed New York Latin music producer Sergio George. Its defining characteristic is a deep fundamental pitch paired with bright, lively overtones—a tonal signature that has become synonymous with modern salsa and Latin dance music. Crafted from brushed steel alloy and manufactured in the USA, the ES-9 delivers a consistent, resonant strike tone whether played with a stick or by hand.

At 8 inches, the bell is sized for comfortable hand-held use during live performance, fitting naturally into a percussionist's grip without added fatigue during long sets. The brushed steel surface provides a balanced attack that projects through a full rhythm section while retaining musical warmth. For players looking to capture that specific New York salsa bell sound heard on countless recordings, the ES-9 offers an authentic, ready-to-play solution straight out of the box.
