Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
Bar chimes (often called "tree chimes") have established themselves as an essential color in orchestras, film music, and pop, used to create transitions, highlight a chorus, or add immediate brightness. This 36-tube model aims for a generous sound and longer sustain while remaining easy to integrate into a drum set or percussion rack.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
This bar chimes is designed for drummers, percussionists, and keyboardists who want to enrich their arrangements without complicating their setup. It suits both beginners (instant effect, intuitive play) and experienced musicians seeking a more prominent chime for stage, cinematic atmospheres, worship, variety, funk, or studio textures.
Features and Innovations
The braided cord mounting allows lateral movement of the tubes: energy dissipates more slowly than with rigid mounting, promoting longer sustain and more powerful volume. The integrated mallet storage prevents loss between songs and speeds up instrument changes live, a real plus for busy sets.
Sound
The aluminum alloy chimes deliver a clear brightness, with precise attack and a uniform shimmer across the entire row. The result is airy, bright, and very clear, ideal for smooth "sweeps" or quick punctuations. With 36 tubes, the effect gains in density and width while maintaining strong projection and a pronounced resonance tail.
