Koshi Terra Tuned Wind Chimes

The magical Koshi chimes are hand-made in the French Pyrenees. Their harmonious tuning, soft sound and elegant design make Koshi chimes the best and most beautiful in the world! They are a refined variant of the well-known Shanti chimes. Their sturdy body (resonance tubes) consists of several levels of oiled bamboo veneer. Inside are eight bronze batons, permanently silver soldered to the base, that are struck by glass balls suspended on a cord when the bamboo leaf pendant at the lower end is set in motion. This can be done actively by moving the entire Koshi through the air (e.g. when a person is "playing" it). Or on the other hand, passively, when the pendant is moved by the wind (e.g. at an open window). This produces a pleasant, gentle interplay of pure notes and wonderful, soft overtones that harmonise together, not upsetting a listener like other, simpler and untuned chimes. On the contrary, you just cannot get enough of these soothing, relaxing and healing sounds that indulge mind and spirit. They are ideal for sound meditation or for accompanying relaxation exercises. A less common use is to hang them on the interior rear-view mirror of a car. The Koshi wind chimes are available in four different and accurately pitched pentatonic tunings, each corresponding to an element: Terra (earth), Aqua (water), Aria (air) and Ignis (fire). While at first it may seem a bit expensive compared to other wind chimes, the Koshi embodies a wealth of experience, precision and love of detail. They are more than worth the price. Koshi chimes can easily withstand a few raindrops but are intended for long-term use under cover or in areas protected from rain. Box Contains 1 x Koshi Wind Chime Terra
