I tried adjusting how tight it was mounted to the bar with no change. I purchased 2 of them, so I thought maybe one was a dud, but the other one was exactly the same.
I just mounted a Knog Oi and it sounds great. Check your mounting, ensure nothing is touching the chime and you did not over tighten. It seems odd that both are duds.
