TreeWorks Chimes TRE421 Made in USA Medium Table Top Bar Chime with Metal Stand (VIDEO)
TreeWorks Chimes. In the summer of 1996, TreeWorks Chimes was created by Mitch McMichen. It began in his garage in Nashville, Tennessee. 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 TreeWorks, 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 in the percussion world — used by top studio and touring drummers and percussionist as well as 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.)

Great
Can be used as a musical instrament, not just a wind chime. Virtually flawless construction and its in tune. I have two issues thou… I tried quite a few items as striking instruments before I found what worked for me, including bell mallets and the side of a box end wrench. Whatever you use, it must be very hard to get a good clean sound. For my self, I hot glued a standard size glass marble to the end of a wooden dowel and I have found nothing to work better since. My other issue is that its not very loud. Being a music hobbyist, I could rig a couple…
