Yamaha YCHS7118 Chime Stand – Dedicated Stand for YCHT7100 Series Chime Tubes
The Yamaha YCHS7118 is the dedicated stand for Yamaha YCHT7100 series chime tubes, designed for professional chime setups in schools, colleges, universities, orchestras, theatres, music services and percussion departments.
This is the stand section used for Yamaha’s YCH7118 chime setup, giving players a stable frame, improved damper response and flexible tube arrangement for a full chime configuration.
It is built for Yamaha 1.5 inch chime tubes from the YCHT7100 series and includes Yamaha’s improved damper rod clamp system, damper pedal function and flexible hanging layout.
What Does It Actually Do?
The YCHS7118 holds the Yamaha YCHT7100 series chime tubes securely and provides the damper system used to control their long sustain.
Chimes naturally ring for a long time, so the stand and damper system are a big part of how playable the instrument feels. Yamaha has designed the damper movement to work with the front-to-back motion of the tubes when they are struck, helping the player stop the sound more cleanly and at the right musical moment.
This is especially important in orchestral, theatre and ensemble playing where chimes often need to be dramatic, but still controlled.
Why Choose the Yamaha YCHS7118?
The YCHS7118 is the correct stand if you are building or replacing a Yamaha YCHT7100 series chime setup.
It gives you the proper Yamaha frame, damper pedal and tube hanging system rather than trying to adapt a general percussion stand. The redesigned damper rod clamp gives a stronger hold and helps prevent slippage when the damper pedal is pressed.
The flexible tube arrangement is also useful. The sharp/flat row includes a full set of damper holes, allowing different tube layouts and special-order tube arrangements to be used. If required, all available spaces can be used for a total of up to 21 tubes.

What’s Included
Yamaha YCHS7118 Chime Stand
Please Note
This listing is for the Yamaha YCHS7118 stand only. Chime tubes are not included and should be ordered separately.
The YCHS7118 is designed for Yamaha YCHT7100 series chime tubes. If you are replacing an older Yamaha chime stand or mixing older tube sets, it is worth checking compatibility before ordering.
For unusual or special-order tube layouts, the tube position should be checked carefully so the damper works properly across the set.
Who Is It For?
The Yamaha YCHS7118 is ideal for orchestras, universities, conservatoires, theatres, music services, large schools and professional percussion departments using Yamaha chimes.
It is a serious stand for a proper chime setup, not a small accessory stand. It is best suited to venues and departments that need a stable, reliable frame with good damping control and the flexibility to support a full chime tube arrangement.
Not Sure If This Is the Right Chime Stand?
If you need the complete Yamaha chime instrument, you may need the full Yamaha YCH7118 setup rather than the YCHS7118 stand alone.
The YCHS7118 is the stand for YCHT7100 series chime tubes. If you already have tubes and need the correct stand, this is the model to look at. If you are not sure which chime tubes you have, or whether your older Yamaha chime setup can be updated, get in touch and we can help you check.
