C Major Chord (C3, E3, G3)

The Emperor Chimes Triad is a striking outdoor sound sculpture that combines architectural form with rich, resonant sound. Tuned to a C Major chord (C3, E3, G3), the three towering chimes create beautiful harmonies that invite exploration, interaction, and musical discovery.

More than simply an instrument, the Emperor Chimes Triad offers an opportunity to experience sound through vibration. Struck gently with the palm of the hand or fingertips, the chimes produce soft, velvety tones with exceptional sustain. As the sound travels through the aluminum tubes, the vibrations can be felt through the hands and body, creating a deeply engaging sensory experience. This makes the instrument particularly meaningful for people who connect with music through touch as well as hearing. Its sculptural appearance and calming resonance make it a popular choice for gardens, music trails, public spaces, and inclusive environments.
