All bells are cast from bell bronze, which is a unique alloy that contains more tin than conventional bronzes. While it is more brittle, it also features a lower melting point and exceptionally low damping. The result is enduring resonance that lingers far longer than in other metals, making it ideal for bells and instruments where sound quality is essential.
I avoid mass-produced bronzes, which often include unwanted elements like lead. Instead, I work exclusively with pure copper and tin, ensuring both the integrity of the material and the authenticity of the craft. Each stage, from traditional sand casting to finishing of product, is done by hand. Each stage, from alloy preparation to the finished product, is done by hand using the traditional sand casting technique. All my work is proudly crafted in Slovenia, Europe.
