👉 Authentic professional chime, part of a series of 5, corresponding to the 5 seasons in Chinese medicine.

The manufacture of these chimes, well known since 1992 under the name “Shanti”, was completely redesigned and innovated in 2010, in order to once again ensure the creation of a quality instrument, with a crystal clear sound rich in harmonics.

Thanks to 25 years of experience in creating these chimes, and in close cooperation with the skilled craftsmen in our workshop, the new “Zaphir” chime is now available in various tones and colors.

The wall of the resonance box is made of very thin layers of long-fiber wood cellulose, calendered under high pressure. By spirally and tightly winding the multiple layers, a cylinder is obtained that is thin, hard and flexible; three essential acoustic qualities to give the Zaphir chime its warm timbre and crystal-clear sound.

The dimensions of the chime, very specifically chosen, corroborate the natural principles of balance linked to the famous “golden ratio”, and prove to be fundamental for the quality of the sound waves.

The “magical” melody of each chime is obtained by tuning 8 metal rods, the “musical strings” of the Zaphir, each calibrated to a very precise length and soldered with silver in a metal ring placed at the base of the chime. After assembling the instrument in the resonance tube, the chime is again tuned by hand, in order to best refine the interaction of the fundamental harmonics, in a circular and infinite movement…

The Zaphir's decoration is based on a very specific marbling technique obtained by “oil painting on water”, specially developed and perfected by the Zaphir workshop, which gives the chime its unique design and allows for a wide range of shimmering shades.

The exterior of the resonance box is protected by a layer of water-based varnish, meeting the “Ecolabel, Toy standards – EN71-3” standard.

The interior is protected by a water-based “Green Label” paint, and the wooden parts, stained black, are protected by a wax.

The Zaphir chime requires no special maintenance for indoor use. For outdoor use, it is strongly recommended to clean and then regularly reapply a coat of water-based varnish to the chime, as experience shows that the chimes remain extremely durable, even after many years!
