| "The sound color from the Philharmonic Tubular Bells is quite simply vast - full, projective, direct, sweet and honest! The whole structure allows the bells to remain solid in transportation." Evelyn Glennie "After several years of searching for a valid set of chimes for 'Teatro Regio di Torino', we have finally found them in the 'Philharmonic' model made by the Adams Percussion Company. They satisfy every necessity that we might desire in an opera orchestra. We have found them to have nice, warm, full sound with a homogeneity between each separate chime - and without any false harmonics. |  |
| Consequently, the intonation is very good. They also maintain this good tone quality over the complete dynamic range. The stand is well-conceived and sturdy, permitting the many relocations it must endure in the future without exposing the chimes to structural damage. In our recent production of 'Boris Godunov' and the present 'Tosca', we have had the opportunity to ascertain and confirm all these various qualities. Our most cordial compliments to your company with the hopes of further professional contacts in the near future." Carlo Cantone Principal Percussionist Teatro Regio Torino For many years now Adams produces successfully Tubular Bells. Intensive researches by scientists, both within and outside our company, have resulted in major improvements in the design of our bells. Our current series of Tubular Bells are by far, the most advanced now available. Many professional players will attest to this. Tuning and tone are the most critical features in the assessment of any set of Tubular Bells. Our staff are extremely conscious of this fact. The result is clear to hear - the best has just got better! | |
| Most of our Tubular Bells have 1,5 octaves ranging from C4 to F6. Adams can also supply a full 2 octave version or 0,5 octave version, respectively ranging from F4 to F6 and F4 to B4. You should take into account that if these two stands are used, each set will be at different height. |  |
| For those players and orchestras not wishing to transport a complete set of Tubular Bells, a separate height-adjustable stand is also available, for example if you only need to use the 6 bells over the 2 octave range, this stand will offer you the perfect solution. You adjust the height of the stand to the longest bell. The burden of moving the bells is now vastly reduced. | |
