Schulmerich MelodyChime® Instrument

Schulmerich MelodyChime® Instruments (handchimes) are tuned aluminum tubes with fixed external clappers. Many handbell techniques can also be applied to handchimes. Handchimes produce a mellow tone and can be performed as an ensemble alone or rung in conjunction with handbells to enrich the textures and layers of the music. Because of Schulmerich’s relatively light weight, handchimes are more suitable for beginners aged over 6 to learn. Offering five octaves (61-notes, C3-C8) of innovation in handchimes. Our instruments are designed to set new standards for appearance, sound and durability.
