Description
The Meinl Percussion Vintage Series 27 Bar Chime in Vintage Wine Barrel finish delivers a lush, shimmering curtain of sound with a beautifully warm, classic look. With 27 gold anodised aluminium alloy bars mounted on a Jamjuree wood bar in a rich walnut brown, it offers a full, musical chime voice that sits perfectly in live mixes, studio recordings and theatre work.
Designed to respond to the lightest touch, this chime produces a wide tonal spectrum that can move from subtle, atmospheric swells to bold, dramatic sweeps. The Vintage Series styling means it looks as good as it sounds, making it a great choice for percussionists who want their setup to be both sonically inspiring and visually striking.
Whether you are adding sparkle to ballads, creating transitions in film and TV work, or bringing extra colour to your percussion rig, the Meinl 27 Bar Chime gives you a reliable, expressive voice that blends easily with acoustic and amplified instruments alike.
Full, Musical Chime Sound
The 27 carefully tuned bars produce a rich, full sound with a wide tonal spectrum. Each sweep of the chime delivers a smooth cascade of notes that linger just long enough, adding depth and atmosphere without overwhelming the rest of the ensemble.
Gold Anodised Aluminium Alloy Bars
The gold anodised aluminium alloy bars provide a bright, clear response with excellent sustain and consistency from bar to bar. The anodised finish also helps protect the metal, so the chimes retain their tone and appearance through regular use on stage or in the studio.
Jamjuree Wood Bar in Vintage Wine Barrel Finish
The Jamjuree wood bar offers a stable, resonant base for the chimes, helping them to speak freely and evenly. Finished in a Vintage Wine Barrel walnut brown, it brings a tasteful, classic aesthetic that complements both modern and traditional percussion setups.
Ideal for Live, Studio and Theatre
With its wide tonal range and smooth response, this chime is equally at home in live performance, recording environments and theatre pits. It adds instant texture and drama to transitions, intros and endings, making it a versatile tool for percussionists, drummers and composers.
