Introducing the Yamaha 1.5 octave orchestral chimes - clear lacquered brass
Featuring 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.
