Chimes and Percussions
chimes
When considering additions and upgrades to an organ, few consider percussion instruments. While chimes are the most popular, glockenspiels, harps, Zimbelsterns and Glockensterns and the like are also possible. Visually beautiful, Exposed percussion can enhance a room, as well as make the organ more versatile and interesting, and can be easily added to an instrument without great expense. Percussion can be added digitally if space is limited.
