Detail 01
25 bars, single row
One row means a clean sweep in either direction. Double rows give more density but muddy the individual bar attacks.

1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Single-row concert chime set with 25 bars, in natural finish. For percussionists needing a swept shimmer effect in ensemble or studio work.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Orchestral and pit percussion needing a sweep or wind effect
- Studio sessions layering shimmer under sustained chords
- Church and worship percussion for cued transitions
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting a melodic instrument with defined pitches
- Small setups without room for a stand and a hanging bar
- Anyone needing a rhythmic instrument — this is a color effect
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 sustain longer and sit lower in pitch than small bar chimes. Fuller wash after the sweep.
Detail 03
Natural finish
Uncoated bar surface. Rings clear, but fingerprints and oxidation show over years of handling.
Detail 04
Graduated bar lengths
Sweeping across gives a rising or falling shimmer. The bars are tuned as a gradient, not to a scale.
Detail 05
Around 165 dollars
Mid-range for concert chimes. Above toy bar chimes, below large orchestral tubular bell sets.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No stand or mounting bar included — you need one to hang it
- 02Bars tangle in transport. A bag or wrap prevents bent strands
- 03Sustain is long. Have a damping plan for quick cutoffs
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need a stand for these chimes?
Yes. They hang from a bar and no stand comes with them. Most players mount them on a percussion table arm or a dedicated chime stand.
02Are bar chimes tuned to a scale?
No. The bars are graduated in length to give a smooth rising or falling shimmer when swept, not defined notes you can play melodically.
03How do you stop the sound?
Lay a hand or a cloth across the bars. Sustain runs long on concert-length bars, so plan a damping move for tight cutoffs.
04What is the difference from a double row?
Single row gives one clean sweep with each bar audible. Double rows stack more bars for a denser wash but blur individual attacks.
