Elemental Koshi Chimes

The Koshi chime is a beautifully crafted musical instrument designed with care and precision. Handmade by Kabir at the foot of the Pyrenean mountains, each chime is a unique work of art, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern acoustic technology. The chime features eight silver-welded chords on a metal plate, creating a clear, harmonic sound that evolves as the shorter chords transition into longer ones, creating a circular, resonant tonal range.

The chime's resonance tube is made from bamboo veneer, a material valued for its acoustic properties. The bamboo is treated with natural oil to enhance its durability and sound quality. Its cylindrical shape, measuring 6.3 cm in diameter and 16.5 cm in height, adds depth to the chime's tone, producing a rich array of overtones that make it unique in both design and sound.

The Koshi chime comes in four distinct melodies: Terra, Aqua, Aria, and Ignis, each inspired by one of the four classical elements. These melodies are designed to harmonize with each other, creating a calming and peaceful atmosphere when used together. Whether placed inside or outdoors, the chime is a versatile addition to any space, bringing natural sound and tranquility.

If you choose to place the chime outdoors, it's recommended to treat the bamboo with a wood finish to protect it from weather elements and ensure its longevity. This adds a layer of care to keep the chime in optimal condition for years to come.
