Yamaha 1.5 octave orchestral chimes - clear lacquered brass

Introducing the Yamaha 1.5 octave orchestral chimes - clear lacquered brassFeaturing rich fundamental tones, long sustain and a beautiful clear sound, these orchestral chimes feature a range of C52-F69 and a lower playing position, ideal for players of a smaller stature.The head cap design provides richer fundamental tone, pitch definitions, and longer sustain. It also brings a wider sweet spot so it is easier to produce optimum tone. The damper rod clamp system has been redesigned for greater clamping strength and a more secure hold that prevents slippage when the damper pedal is pressed. Through aligning damper movement with the front-to-back motion of the chime tubes when struck, damping response has been notably improved, and it is now easier to stop the extended sustain of the chime tubes at the most musically appropriate time. Elegant designThe Yamaha 1.5 octave orchestral chimes feature an elegant design reminiscent of a grand piano with greatly improved sound quality and playability. The golden colour of the brass material used for the chimes contrasts nicely with the black frame that supports them.Typically, chime tubes are hung from separate parts of the assembly in front and behind, however in this revolutionary design, the front and back tubes are placed closer together in a beautiful horizontal arrangement, allowing for far better playability.C52-F69 range, Damper rod clamp system and damper function, 31.8mm diameter tubes, Elegant design, Beautiful, clear sound and great playability, Arrives with frame, cover and mallets
