“This is one of the most unusual sounding and streamlined instruments I have cooked up! The resonance is really deep and spacey, yet so easy to control. The helix is designed to be accessible in almost any direction, so you can develop lots of different stroke textures. The manipulation of the resonator bowl against your belly can give you a mysterious “Shamanic” sound, like a berimbau or wah-wah tube. It’s kind of a jungle sound from outer space.”
HELIX BOWL
BOWL
The MEINL Helix Bowl is a wonderful new instrument consisting of a steel helix welded to a resonating chamber. The Helix Bowl is either stroke or struck, and is played off the body in the manner of a berimbau, for a deep resonating wah-wah effect. Optional dampening is possible with just a touch of a finger.

BILL'S QUOTE:
“This instrument is a classic. I’ve put these through a lot of abuse and a lot of miles, and they hold up just great. Take a moment and get to know the Liquid Triangle... There is a lot going on inside this shape.”
Liquid Triangle
TRIL
The MEINL Liquid Triangle is a solid steel triangle, welded securely to a steel shell, creating a chamber which contains liquid and is closed with a very thin plate. The triangle portion may be played in the classical manner, while the chamber creates eerie resonant overtones. The general angle of the instrument will affect the specific pitch of the overtones, and this can be modulated by hand movements. The instrument may be struck or bowed on any portion of its surface.
