THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW, MAY, 1952
Attention: All Organ Dealers!
If you're selling organs... you'll be interested in America's
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.
FOR CHIMES . . .
Vibrachime can be quickly and easily
installed to any kind of organ—
from the oldest types in existence to
today's most modern makes.
Vibrachime is also available as a
complete unit, housed in a beautiful
walnut console with self-contained
keyboard, for all makes of organs.
FOR CARILLONS . . .
Vibrachime serves as a beautiful tower carillon,
with amplification designed in a wide range of
power to give sound coverage of from 1 to
6 miles or more.
It can be installed as a separate instrument,
with its own keyboard, or in any organ, where,
it can be played with an independent Vibra-
chime keyboard or from the organ manual.
Vibrachime is a truly great value in chime and
carillon installations. It is priced to fit the most modern budget
and has a ready market among churches, institutions,
clubs, restaurants and individuals.

and other Maas instruments:
