Yamaha YCH6118 Tubular Bells Set Overview
The Yamaha YCH6118 Tubular Bells Set is ideal for percussionists seeking rich, resonant tones in a compact, accessible design. Featuring smaller 31.8mm tubes across the C52–F69 range, this set produces a beautifully clear sound with long sustain, perfect for orchestral and ensemble use. A redesigned head cap enhances tone definition and sustain, while contrasting silver and gold finishes provide easy visual reference on stage.
With its playing height set 10 centimetres lower than the YCH7118, it’s particularly well suited to players of smaller stature. A new damper rod clamp system ensures a more secure hold, preventing pedal slippage during performance. Combined with an improved damper motion that aligns naturally with the chime tubes, you’ll enjoy precise control over note length and musical phrasing.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionRicher, more resonant tone
Each chime tube delivers a full-bodied, fundamental sound that rings with exceptional clarity. Thanks to Yamaha’s refined design and smaller tube diameter, the YCH6118 achieves a balance of projection and warmth suited to both professional and educational settings. Whether you’re performing orchestral works or cinematic scores, the long sustain ensures every note resonates beautifully.
Comfortable performance height
The instrument’s 10cm lower playing position makes it more comfortable for a wider range of players. It allows percussionists of smaller stature to perform with correct posture and consistent striking technique. This thoughtful design detail helps reduce fatigue and improves control, especially during long rehearsals or extended performances.
Improved tonal precision
Yamaha’s redesigned head cap brings greater pitch definition and tonal focus. The silver-coloured caps not only improve visibility against the gold tubes but also expand the sweet spot, making it easier to produce a clear, consistent tone. This enhancement ensures each strike is precise and musical, ideal for detailed scoring or live performance environments.
Enhanced damping control
The updated damper rod clamp system offers stronger, more reliable clamping, reducing unwanted movement when using the pedal. In addition, the damper’s motion aligns with the natural swing of the tubes, improving response and making it easier to control sustain. The result is a smoother, more intuitive damping experience that supports expressive, dynamic playing.
