The Korena take
25-note chromatic handbell-style tone chime set covering a full chromatic range. Built for school and community group ensemble playing, not solo performance.

- Classroom music programs teaching pitch and ensemble timing
- Church or community bell choirs needing chromatic coverage
- Music therapy sessions where each player holds one note
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Solo players — one person cannot cover 25 notes
- Anyone needing a portable percussion instrument for gigs
- Budget programs — this is a four-figure ensemble purchase

Hand set
Each chime is held and struck individually. Playing counts scale with the number of people, not the number of chimes.
Detail 03
Tone chimes vs handbells
Chimes produce a purer, softer tone with less overtone ring. Easier for untrained groups to play in tune together.
Detail 04

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How many people are needed to play a 25-note set?
Typically six to thirteen, each holding two to four chimes. Fewer players means limiting yourself to simpler arrangements with fewer simultaneous notes.
02What is the note range?
25 chromatic notes, which is two octaves with every sharp and flat included. Confirm the exact starting pitch before buying music.
03Are tone chimes the same as handbells?
No. Chimes are tubular with a softer, purer tone and less sustain. Handbell sheet music generally transfers directly to chimes.
04Do they need tuning or maintenance?
Tone chimes hold pitch and do not require tuning. Keep the striking mechanisms clean and avoid dropping them.
