Koshi wind chime 'Terra' - G C E F G C E G

The Koshi chime is an authentic musical instrument, an original creation of high quality. Hand made in our workshop at the foot of the Pyrenean mountains, each chime is the result of meticulous craftsmanship.

Eight chime-rods are welded with silver into the metal plate at the base of the resonance tube. Precise tuning creates a play of clear tones that is rich in overtones. The overtones of the shorter chime-rods gradually dominate and become fundamentals, thus forming a circular tone range. Koshi chimes come in 4 different melodies (Terra, Aqua, Aria & Ignis). Each has its own magic timbre and can be played harmoniously with all the others. The cylinder is made with thin layers of bamboo and is treated with natural oil. Move the chime gently holding it by its cord: the crystalline relaxing sound may leave you in quiet wonder. Suspended from the ceiling, a wall or a branch, it will play with the wind and carry you away in an unexpected melody.

Bamboo veneer is much stronger than natural bamboo. A true "resonance tube" with high acoustic properties is made with thin layers of bamboo. This and a new way of tuning give the sound even more depth and richer overtones. The cylinder is 6,3 cm in diameter and 16,5 cm high, 4cm longer than the former Shantis. The Koshi can presumably be used outdoors. Like all wooden objects, they should then be regularly treated with a protective oil. Unfortunately, due to lack of long-term testing, the manufacturer cannot quite guarantee outdoor use yet. The sound of the Koshi windchimes is also absolutely wonderful for children. But for safety reasons, they should not be given in the hands of children under the age of 3.
