The MEINL 27-Bar Chime is a high-quality professional mark tree designed to deliver a clear, shimmering tonal effect ideal for classroom, ensemble, and performance use. Featuring 27 precision-cut aluminium alloy chimes arranged in a single row, this instrument produces a smooth, cascading sound that is both expressive and controlled.
Engineered with a durable wooden mounting bar and secure nylon cord construction, the instrument offers excellent stability and long-term reliability in educational environments. Its balanced tonal response and wide dynamic range make it suitable for a variety of musical settings, from orchestral percussion to contemporary classroom compositions. Widely used as a transitional or accent instrument, this mark tree enables students and performers to explore texture, dynamics, and timing with clarity and confidence.
The 27-bar configuration provides a full, rich, and delicate chime effect with a broad tonal spectrum. The slightly thinner aluminium bars are designed to respond easily to light playing, making it accessible for students while still offering the nuance required by more advanced performers.
Built with a solid wooden bracket and high-quality anodised aluminium alloy bars, this mark tree is designed to withstand regular use in classrooms and rehearsal spaces. The secure nylon cord assembly ensures consistent spacing and reliability over time.
Chimes are commonly used in percussion setups to create transitions, accents, and atmospheric effects. This model integrates easily into both drum kit and orchestral contexts, making it a versatile addition to school ensembles and music departments.
