Classic hanging chimes

Classic hanging chimes are what you might first imagine under the word chime: thin, resonating metal tubes hung around a central part, which resonate with each other when moved.

The sound is created by the movement of the tubes around the central part of the chime and varies according to the size and number of tubes. Thanks to this, each chime has a slightly different sound character and a different sustain length. Smaller and medium chimes sound softer and more subtle, larger chimes have deeper, fuller, and slower-fading tones.

Here you will find a range of Bells from Paradise in various sizes and colors, Gregorian chimes, hanging planetary chimes, and larger ceremonial chimes such as Apollo, Orpheus, or Space Odyssey.

These chimes are ideal for anyone looking for a pleasant and beautifully sounding classic chime that also looks nice. For individual chimes, you will find sound samples and videos, so you can choose the one you like the most.

How to choose a classic hanging chime?

We recommend choosing according to size, sound, and the place where you want to hang the chime. Smaller chimes are suitable for smaller spaces, larger chimes have deeper and longer sustain and stand out better where they have enough space around them.

What is the difference between a smaller and a larger hanging chime?

Smaller and medium chimes sound softer and more subtle. Larger chimes have deeper, fuller, and slower-fading tones. The difference is clearly audible in the sound samples, so it is good to listen to them before choosing.

Are classic hanging chimes suitable for outdoors?

Many classic hanging chimes are also suitable for outdoor use, for example on a terrace, balcony, pergola, or in a garden. However, it is always good to check the information for a specific chime, as the material and surface finish may vary.

What to choose by: appearance, size, or sound?

The ideal is to combine all three things. Appearance determines how the chime will look in the space, size affects the power and depth of the tones, and the sound sample will best tell you if a specific chime will be pleasant to you.
