Chroma-Notes 5-Note Chromatic Add On Desk Bell Set

Turn Your 8-Note Bell Set Into a Full Chromatic Octave

Ready to play more than just the notes in C major? The CHROMA-NOTES® 5-Note Chromatic Add-On Desk Bell Set adds the five sharps and flats—the same notes as the black keys on a piano—to your CHROMA-NOTES 8-Note Diatonic Desk Bell Set.

With C#, D#, F#, G#, and A#, students can explore a much wider range of songs, keys, scales, chords, and classroom arrangements. Combine this set with the CHROMA-NOTES CNDB-D 8-Note Desk Bell Set to create a complete 13-note chromatic octave from C to C.

Why Music Teachers Love CHROMA-NOTES Desk Bells

• Expands your musical possibilities: Adds all five chromatic notes missing from the standard C-major bell set.
• Easy push-button playing: Students simply press the top of each bell to produce a clear tone—no mallets or special technique required.
• Color-coded learning: CHROMA-NOTES colors coordinate with Boomwhackers®, making it easy to combine bells and tubes in the same lesson.
• Clearly labeled notes: Each bell is marked to help students connect color, pitch, and note recognition.
• Accurate intonation: Designed for dependable pitch when playing melodies, harmonies, and ensemble activities.
• Accessible for many learners: The simple push-button design works especially well for young children, beginning musicians, music therapy, and adaptive music settings.

Five Notes Included

C# • D# • F# • G# • A#

Think of them as the five black keys on the piano within a C-to-C octave. Add them to the eight natural notes of the CNDB-D set and you have all 12 pitches of the chromatic scale plus the octave C.

More Than Just an Add-On Set

These five bells can also be used independently as a five-note pitch set for improvisation, listening games, ensemble exercises, pitch recognition, and creative classroom activities.
