Today was the arrival day of our hand chimes. Very exciting moment!! Luckily it was our rehearsal tonight so we got to try them out. They are great and will add a new dimension to our pieces.
Please could you tell me where you got your handchimes from? We have an old set which is very similar but we are struggling to find replacement bands for them. Thanks Sarah
Hi Sarah, We also had this trouble and discovered that you can't get replacement bits any more. There were very few sets made like this before the style was changed to have a mallet attatched to the top of the bar. We have made our own repairs using the right sized bicycle tyre inner tube! We needed a few different sizes to do the whole set. Has made a big difference to the playing of them. Well worth doing. Hope this is helpful. Sas
