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.

Percussion

Percussion covers a wide and diverse family of instruments that create sound through being struck, shaken, or scraped. It includes everything from drum kits and hand drums to auxiliary instruments such as shakers, tambourines, cowbells, blocks, and mallet percussion. Percussion adds rhythm, texture, and colour to music across virtually every genre.

Hand percussion instruments like congas, bongos, djembes, and cajons are played using the hands or simple techniques, while auxiliary percussion is often added to drum kits to expand rhythmic and tonal options. Mallet percussion, such as xylophones and similar instruments, introduces melody as well as rhythm, broadening the musical role percussion can play.

Percussion is used in live performance, studio recording, education, and therapy, making it one of the most versatile areas of music making. Whether providing subtle rhythmic detail or driving the main groove, percussion instruments allow players to shape feel, dynamics, and expression in ways that support and enhance the music.
