Review: "These odd little gems will remind urbane percussionists of the hypnotic melodies of gamelan. The rest of us may associate their clear, sustaining, "hollow" tones with Kung Fu soundtracks or harbor bells. In any case, each chime can produce three usable notes: one on the deep "bell," one on the narrow flange, and one by striking the flange with the stick shaft perpendicular to it, drawing a musical upper harmonic. (This technique is possible with almost any cymbal, but due to the cup chimes' extremely thick bronze and deep bell, the sound they produce is sweeter and more audible than usual.)"
