Detail 01
36 bars
More bars means a denser, longer wash. Fewer-bar sets sound thinner and run out sooner across a sweep.

LP36 Studio Bar Chimes 36 Bar Concert
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
36-bar chime set for studio and stage color — the shimmer wash before a chorus or under a cymbal swell. For working drummers and percussionists.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Studio sessions needing a clean upward shimmer on transitions
- Live drummers adding texture to ballads and worship sets
- Percussion setups where a long decay matters
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting a compact chime — 36 bars is a wide unit
- Drummers with no rack space or free mount point
- Players after tuned, melodic pitches rather than a wash
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Concert-length bars
Longer bars ring lower and sustain longer, so a single sweep carries further under a band.
Detail 03
Natural finish
Untinted wood bar rail. Cosmetic only — it does not change how the chimes sound.
Detail 04
Single-row layout
One row of bars, so you sweep one direction at a time. Two-sided sets let you play both ways without repositioning.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No mount or stand included — you need a chime holder or clamp
- 02Needs clearance so bars hang free and don't hit hardware
- 03Bars tangle if stored loose; hang them or lay flat
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need a special stand for bar chimes?
Yes. Bar chimes need a dedicated chime mount or a clamp-and-arm setup on a cymbal stand so the bars hang freely and swing without contacting other hardware.
02How do you play bar chimes?
Drag a finger or a stick tip across the bars in one direction. Sweeping toward the long bars falls in pitch; toward the short bars rises. Damp with your palm to cut the decay.
03Are more bars better?
More bars give a denser, smoother wash with fewer gaps between pitches. 36 bars is a full-size studio count, wider and longer-sustaining than small 12- or 18-bar sets.
04Does the natural finish affect the sound?
No. The finish applies to the wood mounting bar, not the metal chimes. Sound comes from the bar lengths and the metal itself.
