The first set of chimes was made with a hacksaw and a hand drill. It didn't look like much, but that was the first step to crafting the perfect set of chimes. When asked about the early days of Tree Works, Mitch replies, "I wasn't trying to start a company. I was trying to find a sound." Since then, TreeWorks Chimes has grown to become the most respected chimes producer in the percussion world - used by top studio and touring drummers as well as percussionists and the top 24 drum corps. These instruments are still handmade in Nashville, Tennessee and are unmatched in craftsmanship and sound quality. (It is of note that Mitch McMichen has earned Gold and Platinum records for his recording work in Nashville. ) 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 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 THE BAR: 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 bar, as this adversely affects sound THE BASE: made with Tennessee hardwood sourced from local managed forests where cut selections are hand picked from kiln-dried stock; a hand rubbed oil finish brings out the natural grain for a high-end look ZOOM IN: the chime is hand tied to the base with TreeWorks' CordLoc, a select fiber composition braided for extraordinary strength; this sealed cord suspends the bar while not impeding resonance INCLUDES HARD POLY MALLET: comes with a hard polymer mallet that delivers a clear, bright, and articulate sound that's perfect for filling the room with sparkling tone OF NOTE: this single tone chime has a clear sound that's useful for sound healing, meditation, recording music, or alerting others; it's light and portable to be used for any reason BY THE NUMBERS: wood base measures 5 7/8" L x 1 1/8" W x 3/4" H, and the chime weighs 3 ounces overall; the mallet measures 8" L with a 1" round head See more product details
