Bottom Line

This chime features a gorgeous natural wood frame and includes a striker, unlike many other models.

Pros

Features 20 copper golden bars strung to a wood base. Striker included. Great for classroom settings and children's programs. Natural wood frame. Measures 15 by 2.25 by 10.38 inches.

Cons

Cords loop around the top bar rather than through a drilled hole, so they can slide.

A bar chime is a set of chimes suspended from a horizontal bar. Bar chimes are often attached to a free-standing holder and placed anywhere you might need a moment of zen. While bar chime table sets can be used as a musical instrument, they have nearly endless possibilities outside the studio. Teachers love to use them to get students’ attention. They can assist in meditation, help to relieve stress, or serve as a visual accent. Consider how much table space you have and how important good intonation is to your purpose.
