SABIAN B8 Bronze Bar Chimes

SABIAN B8 Bronze Bar Chimes

The SABIAN B8 Bronze Bar Chimes deliver a bright, shimmering wash of sound with impressive sustain and projection. Twenty-four individual bronze bars suspended from a solid oak mounting bar create a responsive, tonally rich instrument that cuts through ensemble playing without requiring excessive force. This setup mounts cleanly to standard cymbal stands or dedicated chime mounts, making it a practical addition to any percussion rig.

Sound & Tonal Character

Built from B8 Bronze alloy (92% copper, 8% tin with silver traces), these chimes produce a characteristic mid-to-high frequency focus with complex harmonic shimmer and extended decay. The material composition and bar design combine to deliver moderate to high volume output, essential for cutting through in live and studio settings without sacrificing tonal definition.

Construction & Mounting

The chimes are secured with braided 50lb line to a solid oak wood bar, providing durable suspension and resonance characteristics. The mounting system works with both standard cymbal stands and dedicated chime mounts, offering flexible placement and stability in any configuration.
