SuzukiChromatic ToneChime Hand Set HB-12B 12-Note 4th Octave Add-On
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 12-note chromatic handchime set covering the fourth octave, built to extend an existing Suzuki ToneChime collection. For schools and church ensembles already running a base set.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding accidentals to a ToneChime ensemble that's outgrown its diatonic set
- School music programs expanding into keys beyond C
- Handbell-style groups needing fourth-octave coverage
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone without a base ToneChime set — this is an add-on
- Solo players; chimes are written for groups passing notes around
- Buyers who want a full-range set for the price
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.

12 notes
One note per chime, one chime per hand. Twelve notes means several players sharing the set.
Detail 03
Chromatic
Covers the sharps and flats a diatonic set skips, so the ensemble can play in more keys.
Detail 04
4th octave
Mid-range pitch. Matches the register most ToneChime method books are written around.
Detail 05
Hand set
Struck and held by hand, no stand or table required. Storage and transport are on you.
Detail 06
$1,149.99 for 12

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this by itself?
It's built as an add-on. Twelve chromatic notes in one octave works as an extension to a base ToneChime set, not as a first purchase.
02Will it match chimes I already own?
It's built for Suzuki ToneChime sets. Confirm the octave and model of what you have before ordering so the pitches line up.
03How many players does it take?
Handchimes are one or two per player. Twelve notes typically means six to twelve people in the ensemble.
04What's included for the price?
The 12-note chime set. Cases, stands and mallets aren't part of it — budget those separately.
