The new LP Double Folding Bar Chime offers a truly unique range of
options. When folded, the instrument shrinks to a compact profile that
will be very popular with drumset 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 such 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!
