Abstract: A chime assembly (2) includes a plurality of tubular chimes (12) arranged in a straight or curved line. Each chime has a desired tone and is arranged in a series to create a non-scalar arrangement of said tones so that when the chimes are sound sequentially, a tune is created. The chime assembly includes a support frame (4) having upper and lower damping couplings (22,32). Each chime is mounted to a support rod (14) passing coaxially through the chime through the engagement of spring elements (34) engaging holes (44) formed at the nodal points of the chime. The ends of the support rod are supported by the upper and lower damping couplings. The damping couplings include grommets (30) circumscribing the support rod and damping foam (26) surrounding the ends of the support rod.
