PETE ENGLEHART bells? Anyone have some? give me your input

[Gallichio]

I have several Englehart shade drums and bells. Awesome, but they do rust. The rust does not affect the sound. I was told they would rust when I purchased them from Pete. They actually look very nice even with the rust or should I say patina. I purchased them years ago at a trade show in Chicago when Pete was first starting out and I still love them. I only wish I had purchased more of them. Awesome sounding bells. Hope this helps.

You can always use gun oil on them to minimize and stop the oxidization process. I've had lots of his go-go bells and an original crasher, heavy dury stuff although I think I busterd up some of his bells.

Here is my vintage Peter Englehart bells and other PE percussion. They still sound wonderful. On Pete's website he says cleaning them with a scouring pad and then some wax will slow down the rust. I like them just the way they are.

I have played PE percussion and they truly are wonderful. Great sounding bells.

Dip in Vinegar over night and wash with soap and water and rust will be gone. the wax or oil.

I think thats also what my Mom used to do to the cheap-ass steaks she used to buy for us

My P.E. Agogo bells I've owned since 1976.
They are actually more like the Cuban bells used for Conga in the Comparsas.
