Yamaha YCH6018 1.5 Octave Chimes

Description

The new YCH series has been designed to provide a magnificent orchestral chimes sound. Based in in-depth analysis, the chimes tubes have been completely redesigned to deliver rich full fundamental tones with luxurious sustain.

Rich fundamental tones, long sustain, and a beautiful, clear sound. The playing position is 10 centimeters lower than the YCH7018, making this instrument ideal for players of smaller stature.

Head Cap:

The head cap design provides richer fundamental tone, pitch definitions, and longer sustain. It also brings a wider sweet spot so it is easier to produce optimum tone. The head caps are silver colored, contrasting nicely with the gold-colored tubes for easier visual reference.

Damper Rod Clamp System:

The damper rod clamp system has been redesigned for greater clamping strength and a more secure hold that prevents slippage when the damper pedal is pressed

Damper Function:

By aligning damper movement with the front-to-back motion of the chime tubes when struck, damping response has been notably improved. It is now easier to stop the extended sustain of the chime tubes at the most musically appropriate time.

Casters:

A swivel prevention function has been added to the caster locks
