Control the sustain of your bar chimes
Bar chimes create a magical, shimmering curtain of sound - but the long sustain is not always what you want. During a stage transition, a recording or a quiet therapeutic moment, being able to stop the sound quickly is invaluable. That is exactly what this damper does: with one motion it rests against the bars and mutes the sound precisely as much as you wish.
Freely adjustable damping
The tension of the damper arm is freely adjustable from light, barely noticeable damping to complete muting. You decide whether you want a shorter sustain or instant silence. Thanks to the integrated holder, mounting is simple and no separate hardware is needed.
Rigid steel, durable build
The damper is made of super rigid, laser-cut steel with a matt black lacquer coating that looks understated and elegant on stage. It weighs about 2.1 kg, which gives it the stability needed for reliable operation. The product is made in the USA.
Important to know before buying
The damper is designed for single-row bar chimes. It is not recommended for double-row chimes, as the swing arm only reaches one row of bars, leaving the other row undamped. If you play single-row chimes - in an orchestra, theatre, sound bath or studio - this accessory lets you shape your sound with far more precision.
