– Acoustics of Ancient Chinese Bells*
In 1978 a set of Chinese bronze chime bells, large enough to occupy the entire stage of a modern recital hall, was unearthed in Hubei Province in southern China. The chime, which dates from the fifth century B.C., consists of 65 bells encompassing five octaves — a range greater than that of most contemporary instruments. A filigree of gold-inlaid inscriptions on the bells and their frame documents the existence of an elaborate theory of music that specified the design, scales and instrumentation of ancient orchestras. This record and recent investigations of the chime itself have prompted a complete rewriting of the history of acoustics.
The name “Tchong” means bell in Chinese. This explains why our brand name includes a revolutionary Chinese bell.
