TreeWorks Handheld Single Row Bar Chimes - Made in U.S.A.

About this item

• MADE IN USA: we're a small team hand making chimes at our independently owned and operated shop in Nashville, Tennessee; when it comes to building outstanding quality instruments while supporting American jobs, we're all in
• THE BARS: we only use custom mill bars, certified to spec and quality tested; our aluminum/titanium alloy is heat-treated in house for 8 hours and tuned by ear; we never paint, tint, dip, anodize or plate the bars, as this adversely affects sound
• THE MANTLE: selections consist of black walnut or white ash sourced from managed forests in the middle Tennessee region; boards are hand picked from kiln-dried stock, then cut, sanded (16 times), and completed with a hand rubbed oil finish
• OF NOTE: TreeWorks attracts players from all walks of life including DCI Drum Corps, professional drummers and percussionists, Broadway performers, churches, universities, recording studios, marching and concert bands, yoga studios, and sound healers
• BY THE NUMBERS: 12 bars (3/8" thick), single row; 10" long
• HANDHELD CHIME: these chimes hang from a durable braided nylon cord that allows for one-handed use; their compact size is intended for a short chiming sound.
• WHY IT MATTERS: having 100% control over design and production lets us focus on first-class construction with locally sourced materials, yielding the purest sounding chimes; our instruments are highly intentional, professional, and long-lasting
• NO PLASTIC TIES: bars are hand tied to the mantle with TreeWorks' CordLoc, a select fiber composition braided for extraordinary strength; like mini repelling rope, CordLoc prevents bars from ripping off (a common problem with plastic clothing ties)
