Overview

The Latin Percussion LP236D is a chrome-plated steel mounting bracket engineered specifically to attach LP Studio and Concert Series Bar Chimes to a percussion stand. Its core job is structural: it provides a mechanically secure connection point so that your chimes stay locked in the position you set them — no drift during a performance, no rattle introduced into the signal from a loose mount. The bracket accommodates stands up to 1-1/8 inches in diameter, which covers the standard tube sizing used across most professional and prosumer percussion stand lines.

In a session or live context, the practical value of a purpose-built bracket like the LP236D is often underestimated until you've dealt with improvised mounting alternatives. When bar chimes are properly secured, they respond naturally to touch — you're not absorbing unwanted movement in the mount or losing the delicate decay of the chime because the bracket is vibrating against the stand tube. For studio tracking, a stable mount also means the chimes stay in the same position relative to your microphone from take to take. This is a focused, no-frills accessory for LP bar chime owners who want their instrument treated as proper gear rather than an afterthought clamped to whatever was nearby.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Chrome-plated steel construction provides corrosion resistance and durability for both studio and live stage environments.
  • Fits stands up to 1-1/8 inch diameter, covering the vast majority of standard percussion stand configurations without requiring adapters.
  • Dedicated LP Studio and Concert Series fitment ensures a positive, rattle-free mechanical connection with compatible chimes — no improvised zip-tie mounting solutions.
  • Stable bracket positioning frees both hands for playing rather than managing chime stability during performance.

👎 Cons

  • Compatibility is limited to LP Studio and Concert Series bar chimes — it will not universally fit third-party bar chimes or other LP product lines outside those series.
  • No articulating joint or angle adjustment mechanism once the bracket is tightened — repositioning requires loosening and resetting by hand.
  • Chrome finish, while durable, may show scratches or wear under heavy road use more visibly than matte or powder-coated alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

The LP236D is designed to mount LP Studio and Concert Series Bar Chimes. It is not a universal chime bracket — verify that your bar chimes are from LP's Studio or Concert line before purchasing.
The LP236D clamps onto stands up to 1-1/8 inches (approximately 28.5mm) in diameter. This covers the majority of standard percussion and cymbal boom stands, but confirm your stand's tube diameter at the mounting point if you're working with a lighter-gauge auxiliary stand.
The LP236D is designed for secure fixed mounting rather than continuous articulation during performance. Position adjustments should be made before securing the clamp fully.
The LP236D itself is lightweight chrome-plated steel, but bar chimes are moderate-weight accessories. Consider your stand's weight rating and balance point — particularly on single-braced lightweight stands — when adding chimes at an extended boom arm position.
The LP236D is a standalone mounting bracket. No additional adapters or hardware beyond what is included with the bracket are required for installation on compatible LP bar chimes and stands within the specified diameter range.
