Detail 01
Rosewood bar
Warm and woody with a quick decay. It thumps and clears, rather than ringing on like a metal bar.

Sonor OrffDeep Bass Rosewood Chime Bar C
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Single rosewood chime bar tuned to C in the deep bass range. For Orff classrooms adding one low note without buying a full bass instrument.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding a low C drone under an Orff ensemble
- Small-group or one-child parts where a full bass instrument is too much
- Building a chime bar set one note at a time as budget allows
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing a playable scale — this is one note
- Players wanting bright sustain; rosewood is warm and short
- Setups with no floor space for a large low-pitched resonator box
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
Deep bass range
Low enough to work as a foundation note under the ensemble. Long bar and large resonator box to reach that pitch.
Detail 03
Chime bar format
One bar on its own resonator. Portable, hands to a single student, and stores without a stand.
Detail 04
Tuned to C
The tonic in the most common Orff teaching keys, so it is usually the first bass note a classroom buys.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One note only — other pitches are separate purchases
- 02Mallet not included; a low bar wants a heavy soft head
- 03Deep bass bars are physically large — measure your storage before ordering several
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many notes does this play?
One. It is a single C bar. Chime bars are bought individually so you can build only the notes your pieces need.
02Do I need a stand?
No. The bar sits on its own resonator box, which rests on a table or the floor.
03How does it compare to a metal chime bar?
Rosewood is warmer with a shorter decay. It anchors a bass part without the long ring that can blur a classroom ensemble.
04Which mallet should I use?
A heavy soft mallet. Hard heads on a deep bass rosewood bar produce click rather than pitch, and risk denting the bar.
