Tree works chimes. In the summer of 1996, was created by Mitch mcmichen. It began in his garage in Nashville, Tennessee. The first set of chimes was made with a hacksaw and a hand drill. It didn’t look like much, but that was the first step to crafting The perfect set of chimes. When asked about the early days of tree works, Mitch replies, “I wasn’t trying to start a company. I was trying to find a sound.” Since then has grown to become the most respected chimes in the Percussion world — used by top studio and touring drummers and percussionist as well as the top 24 drum corps. These instruments are still handmade in Nashville, Tennessee and are unmatched in craftsmanship and sound quality. (It is of note that Mitch mcmichen has earned Gold and platinum records for his recording work in Nashville.).

MADE IN USA: we’re a small team hand making chimes at our independently owned and operated shop in Nashville, Tennessee; when it comes to building outstanding quality instruments while supporting American jobs, we’re all in
WHY IT MATTERS: having 100% control over design and production lets us focus on first-class construction with locally sourced materials, yielding the purest sounding chimes; our instruments are highly intentional, professional, and long-lasting
THE BARS: we only use custom mill bars, certified to spec and quality tested; our aluminum/titanium alloy is heat-treated in house for 8 hours and tuned by ear; we never paint, tint, dip, anodize or plate the bars, as this adversely affects sound
THE MANTLE: selections consist of black walnut or white ash sourced from managed forests in the middle Tennessee region; boards are hand picked from kiln-dried stock, then cut, sanded (16 times), and completed with a hand rubbed oil finish
NO PLASTIC TIES: bars are hand tied to the mantle with TreeWorks’ CordLoc, a select fiber composition braided for extraordinary strength; like mini repelling rope, CordLoc prevents bars from ripping off (a common problem with plastic clothing ties)
LARGE MULTI-TREE: an array of metallic sound effects including chimes, sand blasted cast bronze finger cymbal, and a 4″ hand-bent carbon steel recording triangle; includes stainless steel triangle/finger cymbal beater
OF NOTE: TreeWorks attracts players from all walks of life including DCI Drum Corps, professional drummers and percussionists, Broadway performers, churches, universities, recording studios, marching and concert bands, yoga studios, and sound healers
BY THE NUMBERS: 31 bars (3/8″ thick), single row, 4″ triangle, 8.25″ light triangle beater, 31″ long overall; a 7/16″ hole in the mantle fits all cymbal and chimes stands, as well as the TreeWorks TRE52 Chime Mount (sold separately)
