What You Can Find with Us and How to Choose
In this category, you will find sets of resonant chimes and brass rotating waves. Both instrument groups feature a long sustain, rich overtones, full resonance, and a beautiful spatial sound.
Resonant chime sets provide multiple notes that you can sound individually, sequentially, or together. This creates long harmonies, subtle layering of tones, and rich harmonic resonances. Smaller hanging sets are lightweight, compact, and practical for smaller spaces or transport. Large sets on a stand bring a wider tonal range, fuller sound, and extraordinarily long sustain, and can also be transported and used in various places as needed.
The tuning of the chimes can be major, minor, or overtone Pythagorean. Major tuning feels brighter and more open, while minor tuning is calmer and more dreamy. Pythagorean tuning is based on natural tone ratios, creating a very pure, unique, and impressive overtone harmony with rich bass resonance.
Brass rotating waves are made from the same type of resonant brass and also feature a long, rich sustain. Once suspended, you can gently circle or slowly rotate them. As a result, the tones begin to move through space, adding another flowing spatial dimension to the sound.
We offer brass rotating waves in various tunings and note counts, such as six-tone, eight-tone, or ten-tone variants. They are ideal whenever you want to combine a long brass sustain with a gentle movement of tones through space.
When making your choice, we recommend relying primarily on listening. For every chime set and rotating wave, you will find sound samples and videos to help you compare their sound character. You can also come listen to and try them out in person at our showroom in Jablonec nad Nisou.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are resonant chimes made of?
Resonant chimes are made of precisely tuned resonant brass. This gives them rich overtones, full resonance, and a very long sustain.
How long do resonant chimes sound?
It depends on the size of the chime and how it is played. Larger chimes can sustain for a very long time, with the largest lasting up to fifteen minutes.
What is the difference between a smaller and a large set of chimes?
Smaller hanging sets are lighter, more compact, and well suited for smaller spaces or transport. Large sets on a stand feature a wider tonal range, fuller sound, and extraordinarily long sustain.
What is the difference between major, minor, and Pythagorean tuning?
Major tuning feels brighter and more open, while minor tuning is calmer and more dreamy. Pythagorean tuning is based on natural tone ratios, creating a very pure, unique, and impressive overtone harmony with rich bass resonance.
What are resonant chimes suitable for?
They are suitable for meditation, relaxation, sound therapy, music therapy, client work, group relaxation sessions, and music creation.
What are brass rotating waves?
They are hanging brass instruments with long sustain and multiple notes. When gently moved or rotated, their sound moves through space, creating a flowing spatial effect.
Can I listen to the chimes before purchasing?
Yes. For chime sets and brass rotating waves, you will find sound samples and videos. You can also come listen to them in person at our showroom in Jablonec nad Nisou.
