JBrownUP Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Does anyone have them and can the tell me what the like or don't like about it? Im looking at adding the trees to my show this year but not sure. I also saw some singing light bulbs as well but haven't looked around to find them. I'm not even sure if you can buy that or if someone made it themselves. Any input would be great. Thanks. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrant Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Holiday Coro has the singing Christmas Trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Blue Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I think the question is not where to source the singing trees, but whether those who have purchased them previously like their quality/construction/etc. (I can't help, I don't have them!)

RaZZlo Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I purchased the 4 coro trees last year and mounted in wood frame. After being up for 45 days in all weather, they held up well. Coro is very sturdy. I know that another vendor has HDPE faces as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrant Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I'm not doing them this year but simple question, how many channels are needed for each? Yes, I know its based on face movements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapkirk Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I purchased the Holiday Coro trees this year my first, they use 8 channel each and I have purchased 7 sequences for them and finished mounting them, they look real good and I think they will be the big hit. For OP though if you are just now beginning it may be a project better for next year, they take a lot of lights and we purchased the lights months ago during the sales, don't remember exact bulb count but they are over 7 or 8 hundred each, and I think $500 plus for the lights on sale, regular price for leds right now will sting a bit, and don't forget 2 controllers for just the tree's. The best of luck, I think you will really like them when you get them. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebuechner Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I built the holiday Coro singing Christmas trees for this year. in my setup I used all LED lights. And a Renard plus 32 channel controller with dirkcheap SSRS. I'm able to run all of my lights from one controller that cost less than $200. the controller is very small in fits in the back of the display easily.for setup all of the faces are built on one frame that only requires 2 wires 1 DMX + 1 power. so far I'm very pleased with the holiday Coro product. although I made some modifications to the faces so that they don't all look exactly alike. I gave them for different personalities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne K Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 This will be my third year with them. I made a pvc frame to hold them and they are holding up very well. My first year I used ican bulbs and last year I changed them out to led's. Here in our small town I have had lots of coments about them. The problem with the singing trees is the sequencing. I have tried to do the sequencing for these and it is very difficult for me. Matt Suart has provided some sequences for these and I found a couple of other programmers that shared them. (by the way thanks again to those who have shared these specialized sequences) The 4 of them will take 2 controllers. Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aesl1982 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I built the wood frames. They include the instructions. Very simple took me an hour to do all four. I like to purchase the face sequences from Holidaysequences.com they are like 15 bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Box on Rails Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) I won a set of Large Holiday coro trees in 2011 in the sequencing competition they had. I made frames and used them until last year when during a big wind storm they blew off the roof. the coro trees survived but my frames and most of the bulbs did not fair so well. So as a result of the damage, I decided rather then spend money to fix them i would buy a set of the smaller coro trees and mount them on the ground this year. There is Zero Issues with them although when it comes to storing them they take up a little room. I converted one into an evil tree that I use in both my Halloween and Christmas display. Bottom line is they are a great part of my display and will remain in it for a long time. Take your time and do it right and have fun with it.

I've been experimenting with putting landscaping fabric in front of the faces for Halloween. when they light up you only see the lights glowing through and can't see the tree outline.as far as storing them they're built on one frame and clip to the ceiling in the basement when I don't need them controller and all. wen cliped to the ceiling I can plug them in and test sequences.

dknahoolewa Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Had mine 3yrs running. love them. just replaced Incan to all LED. I attach mine to the side of the house with eye bolts and carabiner. Everyone loves them. People liked them so much I made my own Olaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserace33 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I just got my first tree yesterday. I just started to source the lights for the one and it is going to be about 200% more than the dang coro was! I was thinking of using PVC to build a frame to attach it in my eves. The 2x4 frame looks very sturdy, but with that comes lots of weight. Does anyone have any pictures of their frames from PVC? Also any of you that switched from incan to LED, do you have all of the Incan available for sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brucey Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 yeah, the lights for those displays aren't cheap due to the nature which was why I passed on them this year. Also, make sure you get the right size bulbs or they won't sit properly in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougP Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 For those of you that would like to have them as a wireframe, I make them out of 1/4 round steel and are powder coated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpageler Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 If you do or have plans to do a Halloween disply, singing faces instead of tree might be an option. You can leave them up for christams and put stocking cap outlines on 1 or more or the faces. A "singing tree" sequence will work on singing faces.
