Each Koshi chime is handcrafted in a small workshop in France, at the foot of the Pyrenees mountains, using a refined and unique artisanal technique.

The body of the instrument is a bamboo resonating tube, a material known since prehistoric times for its acoustic qualities, and still widely used today in the making of many musical instruments: didgeridoos, flutes, jaw harps, valihas, xylophones, etc.

This cylinder is handcrafted using thin layers of bamboo assembled together to create a bamboo veneer, stronger than raw solid bamboo.
Treated with a natural finishing oil, this high-quality acoustic tube retains a beautiful, understated and natural appearance.

Eight metal tone rods are silver-soldered to a metal ring fixed to the base of the cylindrical soundbox. Thanks to a new tuning technique, the very precise tuning of these musical rods creates a set of deep, richly harmonic, and crystalline tones.

The harmonics of the shortest stems constitute the fundamental notes, and together they form a very harmonious circular sound scale.

Slowly swing the chime in a circular motion, holding it by its cord, and let yourself be enchanted by its soft, crystalline, and relaxing melody.

Suspended from a tree branch, the wind chime will play in harmony with the wind to carry you away on an unexpected melody.
