I'm about to start making chimes from scratch, and tuning to the tolerances that I'll be tuning to will make the stuff in this video look like a piece of cake, but I'll be making tutorials on tuning as well.
There are three places I know to get them if you don't want to make them yourself from the ground up. One is Music of the Spheres, one is Wind River Chimes, and one is Woodstock Chimes. Sadly, Grace Note Chimes was a fourth but they closed their doors. Many of the large chimes here are Music of the Spheres bass and tenor chimes. There are also 65 and 78 inch Corinthian Bells and 64 inch Shenandoah Melodies, and there are Woodstock Windsinger chimes elsewhere in the studio out of view (I think. I don't know if they're deployed at the time of this video, but they are now). Music of the Spheres also makes some goliaths in the form of the Contrabass and Basso Profundo. I do have the Contrabass set and its largest note deployed, but I do not have Basso Profundo (and it's too big anyway for this studio unless I rest the note horizontally somehow). If you want to make them yourself, Metals Depot sells the tubing and you need only cut it to length, pin it, and string it. I have upcoming tutorials on how to do all of that.
Very cool.
I just realized how precise this is 😳

Hello friend.
Where do you get large chimes like this?
