The handmade Kypros bell  is a traditional Cypriot bell used in herding that stand out for its distinctive acoustic identity, strong projection, and natural musicality. Kypros is classified as a cast metal bell, made by traditional methods of pouring a molten alloy into a mold – typically copper, brass, and other metals. Commonly attached to goats (especially billy goats), but also used on sheep, cattle, and working mules. Often used in sets of different sizes to create a natural scale of tones within a herd. Loud, resonant bell, designed to carry over long distances in open terrain and valued for being easy to tune and harmonize with other types of bells. An extensive range of weights and sizes allows for optimal adaptation across the herd, down to each individual animal.
