This is what i've been looking for! Deep bells of manageable size! Thank you. I would even desire deeper bells, enormous tubes... looks like I'll have to get to working, prob gonna have to build my own, as I cannot afford your skill
Audio recorded with a Zoom H4n. There is a little compression/limiting applied as it is such a percussive instrument - the overall level would be so low if I didn't curb some of the peaks. No EQ. There is little point in me misrepresenting the sound of my instruments. That would only lead to disappointed customers
What are you working on? I'm down to collaborate information. I just made some tunes C9 chord chimes around C6, but I'm building a lower frequency chromatic next.
Diameter, and wall thickness impact pitch more than length. I have been studying this as a hobby and learned the "chime tube" has a shell mode frequency that dominates the sound. The length is mostly useful for obtaining resonance, but could generate a beam mode of vibration too. This is one reason tubular chimes have a harsh sound. There are many more modes of vibration in play. For example, I found the G tube to be a harsh sound and the C tube was more pleasing.
Hi Matt, would it be ok for me to email you and pick your brain on these? I'm embarking on my own "Berlioz Bells" project and while I've found some useful general information I'd love to see what you have to say on the subject. Thanks!
The note and octave numbers are annotated in the video. In case you are visually impaired - something I must admit I hadn't considered in making my quick video demo, the notes are in sequence: C4, G3, C4, C4, C4, G3, C4, C4, C4, G3, C4, C4, C4, G3, A3, G3, C4, Bb3, A3, G3, C4, Bb3
I am not a fan of Stainless Steel for tubular bells. Comparing brass with aluminium of the same diameter, the aluminium is about 15% longer for the same note. Stainless is in between the two
The material impacts the sound in different ways. The density of the material (heavier) will cause the note to go down. The elastic modulus (strength) will cause the note to go up. The material will also effect the "decay" of the note.

What device are you recording audio with? Are you using any DAW or software to tweak this audio, or is the audio basically organic?

Hello! Is there anyway I could get in touch with you to ask you some questions for a project I'm making?

@@patrickmcgever2736 That's awesome! Would write to my email so I can explain the whole project?

Hey! Does diameter affect pitch, or am I good calculating the notes based purely on the length of the tube and it's fundamental frequency?
Diameter effects pitch linearly. Twice the diameter equals twice the frequency. Length effects pitch according to inverse square. Twice the length equals 4 times lower frequency. Wall thickness affects pitch - slightly. Diameter and wall thickness affect timbre. Psychoacoustics affect everything. Beware!
@@teethrecordings Thank you so much for answering! Do you think I could contact you for some questions I have?

email away! I'm matt@ my domain name
Yooo no way i found the Calamity Bells (insert Trademark logo here but im too lazy to copy and paste one from google)
What notes did you play include the letter and octave number

@@MattNolanCustomoh no see I guess it didn’t connect with me well because you only showed the note. The first time you played it.
Hello friend, what is the difference between tubular stainless steel and aluminum always 2 inches in diameter?
I am not a fan of Stainless Steel for tubular bells. Comparing brass with aluminium of the same diameter, the aluminium is about 15% longer for the same note. Stainless is in between the two
@@MattNolanCustom Sorry I did not understand well, whether the note is longer or the sound lasts longer or if the tube is longer.
@@marioeliasgarcia2665 ahah! Sorry. The tube is longer

How much did it cost?
Please email enquiries to me at matt@mattnolancustom.com - thanks
I have been looking for a plug-in that captures this sound, for a song I’m recording. Any advice?
Spitfire probably have something
Which alloy is this?
6000 series
