The crystalline tones of the chimes have a wonderful calming effect on children, however they are not a toy and it is recommended that they not be left in the hands of young children.

The perfectly tuned Koshi wind chimes enhance the sounds of nature and help create a flow of positive energy. On the other hand, wind chimes that are not in tune can create the opposite energy flow. Precision tuned wind chimes can help to counteract the negative energy flow caused by the unnatural sounds of traffic, machinery, loud music etc.

Historically, the Chinese used the music of chimes to express emotions and establish an atmosphere of peace and harmony. Buddhists liked to hang hundreds or even thousands of wind chimes or bells on temples, shrines and pagodas. Breezy moments created an almost overwhelming auspicious sensation of sound.

Koshi Chime Tunings

The harmonious tuning, the soft sound and the beautiful design make the Koshi wind chimes lovely gifts. Koshi wind chimes come
in four tunings. The Aqua chime, Aria chime, Ignis chime and Terra chime) are each inspired by a natural element (water, air, fire and earth). Each has a specific magic timbre and can be played harmoniously with all others.

Eight chords are welded with silver into the metal plate at the base of the resonance tube. The precise tuning creates a play of clear tones that is rich in overtones. The overtones of the shorter chords gradually dominate and become fundamentals, thus forming a circular tone range. The effect is meditative and delightful!

The Koshi chimes resonance tube is made of bamboo veneer as it is much stronger than the natural bamboo. A true “resonance tube” of high acoustic quality is made with thin layers of bamboo treated with natural oil to protect it against the weather. This combined with a new tuning technique gives the sound a great depth and enriches the harmonics.

Placement

Koshi wind chimes can be placed outdoors in a protective area. To maintain their beauty, they will require oiling with either clear teak oil or clear tung oil, on a regular basis.

Holding the chime by its cord, move it gently: be amazed at the crystalline, relaxing sound. Outside, sheltered from rain, as it plays with the wind, you will drift away on a beautiful melody.
