Musser Tubular Bells for Hire

Musser Tubular bells are a 1.5 octave range of bells from C4-G5, featuring damping pedal and pedal lock. Tubular bells are also known as chimes. Each bell is a metal tube tuned by altering its length. The standard range of tubular bells is from C4-G5, though there are exceptions to this range. Tubular bells are often replaced by studio chimes, which are a smaller and usually less expensive instrument. Studio chimes are similar in appearance to tubular bells, but each bell has a smaller diameter than the corresponding bell on tubular bells. Tubular bells are sometimes struck on the top edge of the tube with a rawhide- or plastic-headed hammers. A sustain pedal is attached to the bottom of the set to allow extended ringing of the bells. They can also be bowed at the bottom of the tube to produce a very loud, very high-pitched overtone.
