Superior Craftsmanship for Unmatched Sound Quality

Made in the USA with Locally Sourced Materials

Each TreeWorks Chimes TRE417 is proudly made in the USA, using high-quality materials sourced from the heart of Tennessee. The bars are crafted from durable aluminum/titanium alloy, providing a long-lasting, resonant sound that doesn’t fade with time. The mantle is constructed from sturdy Tennessee hardwood, adding a natural and authentic touch to every chime.

Handcrafted for Durability

The TRE417 chimes are built to last, featuring a hand-finished hardwood mantle and braided CordLoc suspension, which holds the bars securely without using plastic ties—an exclusive feature that distinguishes TreeWorks Chimes from other brands. This attention to detail ensures that your chimes will remain in top condition, even with frequent use.

Perfect for Professional and Amateur Musicians

With its 14-bar design, the TRE417 is ideal for musicians who need a concentrated chime sound. The chimes produce a clear, twinkling effect when you sweep your hand across the bars, creating a sound that naturally fades and echoes away. Its reduced range makes it a great option for pieces that need delicate, shimmering textures, and it’s often used in professional settings, from drum corps to studio recordings.
