LP Innovation shines with versatile, undulating chimes.

The Latin Percussion Double Folding Bar Chime offers lots of versatility. When folded, the instrument shrinks to a compact profile that will be very popular with drum set players who find space is at a premium. In a moment, the percussionist can fold the frame down to a 12-bar expanse that extends three rows deep. The resulting dense configuration elicits a more complex, thicker, multi-pitched shimmer.

When extended, the bars are configured so that a broad sweep produces an intriguing glissando that goes from high-to-low-to-high-to-low pitches - a pleasing and captivating undulation. Played wide-open (extended) or closed (folded three rows deep), the chimes emit delightfully crisp and glassy timbres. The LP Double Folding Bar Chime provides the creative musician with an alternative to the conventionally configured chime sequence, which runs from low to high pitches. The folding design is so unique that a patent is forthcoming.

From the luxurious red-brown stained hardwood frame to the expanse of thirty-six hardened aluminum chimes, each 3/8" in girth and attached with high-strength braided cord, the LP Double-Folding Bar Chime is, at first glance, something you want to touch and to play. The juxtaposition of the rich, dark hardwood with the bright sheen of 36 gleaming, pitched bars is compelling.

The new chime set includes the sturdy LP236D Bar Chime Mount. And the LP Double Folding Bar Chimes come in a reusable package that protects the instrument in storage and transport. There is nothing else to buy.
