Detail 01
33 bars
A dense bar count, so a single sweep produces a long continuous wash instead of individually audible strikes.

MEINLSingle Row 33 Bar Chimes
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 33-bar single-row chime set for percussionists and studio players who need swells, accents, and transitions rather than pitched melodic playing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Studio overdubs adding shimmer to a chorus or intro
- Church and orchestral percussion needing soft entrances
- Drummers wanting a mounted accent above the kit
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting to pick out melodies on defined pitches
- Loud stages where a quiet sustained wash gets buried
- Anyone needing a compact setup piece with a small footprint
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
Single row
Bars hang on one side only. You get one direction of sweep and less overall volume than a double row.
Detail 03
Natural finish bars
Unpainted metal, so the surface shows handling marks over time without affecting the sound.
Detail 04
Suspended bar design
Sound depends on free hanging. Bars touching a stand, cymbal, or wall will choke the sustain.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Needs a stand or mount with clearance for the bars to hang free
- 02Sustain rings long — plan how you'll damp it between phrases
- 03Bars tangle easily in transport; store and move them hanging
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need a stand?
Yes. Chimes need to hang freely to ring. A percussion or cymbal-boom mount with enough clearance is required.
02How do I stop the ringing?
Damp with your free hand or forearm across the bars. There is no pedal or mechanical mute.
03Are the bars tuned to specific notes?
They're arranged as a sweep rather than a playable scale. Use them for wash and accents, not melodies.
04Single row versus double row?
Single row sweeps in one direction and is quieter. Double rows give more volume and a two-sided sweep.
