The Koshi chime is an authentic musical instrument. An original creation of high quality. It is hand made in a famous workshop at the foot of the Pyrenean mountains in France.
Each chime is the result of meticulous craftsmanship where 8 chords are welded with silver into the metal plate at the base of the bamboo resonance tube.
Precise tuning creates a play of clear tones that is rich in overtones, of which the shorter chords successively dominate and become fundamentals, forming a circular tone range.
Move your Koshi gently holding it by its cord or suspend it and it will play with the wind carrying you away in an unexpected melody.
Either way, the astonishing relaxing sound may leave you in quiet wonder.
Each Koshi produces it's own sound influenced by the 4 elements with it's own timbre.
Melodies:
ARIA - Element Air a c e a b c e b
TERRA - Element Earth g c e f g c e g
IGNIS - Element Fire g b d g b d g a
AQUA - Element Water a d f g a d f a

The Sonic Chi Chime is a beautiful mid tone music maker with 10 aluminum tubes tuned to the notes A - C – D – E – G – A – C – D – E – G in the A=432 tuning system. I love the deeper tones of this chime.
There are two sizes available, the 1” has slightly larger tubes and allow for a more resonant sound and the variety between the notes creates a pleasing swirl of vibration that is pleasing to the ears in whatever combination the player chooses. Infinitely enchanting and joyful. A beautiful instrument for those starting their sound journey and for seasoned practitioners.
The larger Sonic Chi Chime is a little heavier and you may prefer to hang it on stand if playing for long durations of time. If you are looking for something similar, the Earth 6 and 9 bar chimes are lighter and in a very similar tuning.
Chime comes with a handmade blue bag with a hot pink trim and a handmade crochet red mallet with wooden handle.
