Description
BOWL (LMHB) Meinl Helix Bowl.
The Meinl Helix Bowl is an interesting instrument consisting of a steel helix welded to a resonating chamber. It is either stroked or struck with the beater and is played off the body in the manner of a berimbau, for a deep resonating wah-wah effect which can give you a mysterious “Shamanic” sound like a wah-wah tube.
Meinl describe it as a ‘kind of a jungle sound from outer space!’
Optional dampening is possible with just a touch of a finger on the helix or bowl and it can be played with either end of the beater.
