Product Description
One of the most popular sound effects used in the elementary music classroom, the chime tree can truly add a bit of "magic" to any musical setting. Play the chime tree by "strumming" along the chimes with your fingers or with a triangle striker (not included). To assemble your chimes, we recommend placing the bars in a shoebox lid or similar tray to determine size order. Then attach each bar with one of the included plastic loops.
Reviews
Handy, but poor design and anemic sound
I purchased this item recently. It arrived very quickly, and it is convenient that the chimes do not require a separate stand. However, you have to hang the chimes yourself, using supplied plastic ties. The ties are not tight and it is possible for the chimes to shift a bit horizontally, so they may not sit very evenly. Also, the aluminum used in this set gives a quite thin sound, much more like cheap windchimes than something deserving of the word instrument. I'd have to recommend looking for a nicer unit if you plan to do any real performing or recording.
