BarChimes (64-Bit) are percussion instruments that are used in a wide range of musical styles, producing that twinkling or sparkling sound often used by percussionists. They consist of a row of tuned solid metal bars that hang on strings from a wooden beam. When moved, usually with a sweeping action, the bars will swing and collide in a chaotic manner, creating that recognizable shimmering sound from all the random collisions and interactions.
