A set of bar chimes may also be known as a chime tree or mark tree (named after Mark Stevens the inventor) and is a common percussion instrument used to embelish and colour musical works. The chimes themselves are cylinders of solid metal all at varying lengths and produce sounds of a different pitch all hung from a bar mount. The chimes are played by sweeping a finger or stick through the length of the hanging chimes and as they are mounted in pitch order they produce rising or falling glissandos.
The cowbell and block are hand percussion instruments used in various styles of music including salsa and more recently popular music. Our range includes stand mounted cow bells and block sets.
