Meinl Sonic Energy Bendo Chimes SBCH

Discover a unique organic sound with the Meinl Sonic Energy Bendo Chimes. Crafted from natural Bendo seed nutshells suspended from a solid mahogany frame, this distinctive instrument creates a clear, crisp tone that stands apart from traditional metal chimes. Its natural character and textured resonance make it a versatile addition to sound healing sessions, meditation spaces, musical performances, and creative sound exploration.

Played in a similar way to traditional chimes, the Bendo Chimes produce an entirely different sonic experience.
