KERA AUDIO CH-36/STA – percussion chimes with 36 bars KERA AUDIO CH-36/STA are percussion chimes, also known as bar chimes or mark tree. They consist of 36 freely suspended aluminum bars that produce a bright, shimmering sound with a gradual decay when played. They are an excellent addition to drum and percussion setups, where they are used to accentuate musical transitions and create atmospheric sound effects. Simply glide your hand or a mallet gently over the bars to create a characteristic sound wave. By adjusting the speed and direction of your movement, you can change the sound – from a soft, gradual ringing to a more pronounced shimmering effect. 36 aluminum bars for rich sound The chime consists of 36 aluminum bars of varying lengths, suspended from a wooden rail. Aluminum provides a bright, ringing sound character, and each bar naturally resonates when played. Chimes are used in jazz, pop, orchestral, and film music, as well as in musical improvisation and sound relaxation. They are suitable for concerts, recording studios, and group percussion playing. Practical stand included in the package A major advantage of the CH-36/STA model is stand supplied together with the tool. This allows you to conveniently place the chime in your percussion setup without the need to purchase a separate stand. The total width of the instrument is 57 cm, and the manufacturer states a height of 72 cm. The natural wooden finish is complemented by metal bars, creating an elegant appearance suitable for both the stage and the music classroom. Use for playing drums and percussion Chimes are appreciated by drummers, percussionists, and music educators alike. They make it easy to enrich a composition with subtle sound effects, highlight a change in musical mood, or create a smooth transition between different sections of a piece. Thanks to their simple playing method, they are suitable for both beginner and experienced musicians.
