A durable, medium-weight tubular bell (chime) hammer with a nylon head and maple shaft. The Chalklin CCH2N (often listed by makers as CH2N) gives a clear, sustained strike with a slightly brighter attack than rawhide-ideal for everyday rehearsal and performance across school ensembles, wind band, and orchestra.

Medium nylon head (39 mm): bright, clear chime tone with strong sustain
-
Maple shaft (260 mm): solid balance and comfortable control

Why Choose This Hammer
Choose nylon when you want consistency and longevity: it's more hard-wearing than rawhide, copes well with changes in temperature/humidity, and delivers a reliable, articulate strike from pp entrances to ff peaks without sounding harsh. Great as a main "daily driver" beater and a smart partner to a softer rawhide hammer for color changes.
