Planetary Bar Chime - Sun

Meinl Bar Chimes are tuned to the planetary frequencies as calculated by Hans Cousto. These chimes are made from extruded aluminium, which is a strong, but soft metal. This creates a chime with a clear tone and long sustain. But Aluminium is soft which means the occasional nicks and scuffs may appear on the chime. This doesn't affect the sound.

These chimes are at the higher frequency/overtone/octave than the corresponding gong. Most chimes are in the 7th Octave, with only the Sun being in the 6th.

They sound a strong fundamental that is uplifting and cleansing. A perfect small instrument to add to your sonic collection. The frequencies of the chimes are as follows:

Sun 2019.52 Hz or B in the 6th octave. Length: 6". Width: 1.75"

The life giving primal principle.

Signifies the magical and transcendental.

For people whose spirit is full cheerfulness and the mind full of clarity.

Leads to release without melancholy.

Each chime comes with a wooden striker. If your selection is out of stock we can order for you in which case shipping is an additional charge.

We also sell a selection of gongs, oblongs, cosmic tubes and tuning forks in the planetary tunings.
