Meinl Headliner Series 27-Bar Single Row Chimes — Red Wooden Bar (HCH1R) — Silver Anodized Aluminum Bars & Full Tonal Sweep
Designed to add shimmering, ethereal textures and dramatic tonal sweeps to any musical arrangement, the Meinl Headliner Series 27-Bar Single Row Chimes in Red (HCH1R) deliver high-pitch clarity and rich harmonic brilliance. Ideal for drum kit setups, percussion rigs, church worship bands, and studio recording, these single-row chimes create a bright, cascading acoustic effect that cuts cleanly through live amplification.
Constructed with 27 solid, silver-anodized aluminum alloy bars suspended from a durable wooden beam finished in a vibrant high-gloss red, the HCH1R offers a smooth tonal transition from high to low pitches. Mounted on a sturdy nylon cord stringing system, the bars resonate freely with maximum sustain and minimal mechanical contact noise, making them an essential effect tool for adding dynamic shimmer to song intros, transitions, and climactic fills.
