most versatile chime and carillon instrument. It's making
sales history in the music trades. (Octamonically) tuned...
with instant responsive action, Vibrachime is a perfect
companion to any electronic or pipe organ.

Vibrachime can be quickly and easily
installed to any kind of organ—

today's most modern makes.
Vibrachime is also available as a
complete unit, housed in a beautiful
walnut console with self-contained
