Bar Chimes with Stand Alfabeto CHB25
The Alfabeto CHB25 bar chimes are an elegant and functional percussion instrument with 25 individual tones. Aluminium tubes are suspended on threads from a natural wooden bar — a construction that delivers the clean, bright, clear sound characteristic of bar chimes. The instrument is equally suited to live performance, studio recording, and home practice.
The package includes a stand for correct positioning and a playing mallet — everything needed to start playing immediately. Brand registered in Ukraine, manufactured in China.
🎵 Sound Characteristics
- ✔️ 25 individual tones — melodic passages, rhythmic accents, and solo effects in percussion sets
- ✔️ Clean, bright sound — aluminium tubes produce a clear, resonant tone on contact
- ✔️ Natural acoustic warmth — the wooden bar provides a pleasant resonant base
- ✔️ Controlled dynamics — the mallet allows playing from soft touches to accented strikes
🔧 Construction and Materials
The body is a natural wooden bar from which aluminium tubes are suspended on threads. The threads hold the tubes evenly and prevent unwanted movement between notes. Aluminium is strong yet lightweight, preserving acoustic performance without adding unnecessary weight. The included stand positions the instrument at a comfortable playing height whether seated or standing.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are bar chimes and how are they played?
Bar chimes are a percussion instrument consisting of a horizontal bar from which vertical tubes of different lengths are suspended. They are played with a mallet — either drawn across the tubes for a glissando effect or striking individual tubes to produce a specific pitch. The sound resembles a chime or bell and is widely used in pop, jazz, orchestral, and studio percussion.
What is included in the package?
The CHB25 package includes the bar chimes themselves (wooden bar with 25 aluminium tubes), a stand for correct positioning, and a playing mallet. No additional accessories are required to start playing.
Is the CHB25 suitable for beginners?
Yes. Bar chimes are one of the most accessible melodic percussion instruments to pick up. Playing with a mallet requires no special technique, and 25 tones provide a sufficient range for simple melodies and rhythmic effects.
Can it be used without the included stand?
Yes. The bar chimes can also be mounted on a microphone stand or integrated into an existing percussion rig. However, the included stand is designed specifically for the CHB25 and provides the optimal height and stability for comfortable playing.
