Koshi Chimes Ignis

Adding the Koshi Chimes Ignis (Fire) completed my elemental set, and this chime provides a wonderfully warm, vibrant, and energetic counterpart to the others. As expected from Koshi, the quality is exceptional, delivering a truly mesmerizing sound.
​Sound Quality & Tuning:
​The sound of the Ignis chime is strikingly warm, resonant, and dynamic. It immediately evokes a sense of energy and brightness, reflecting the fire element. The tuning (G B D G B D G A, which is a G Major 7th chord) is rich and slightly more complex than the others, creating a vibrant, uplifting melody. The long, shimmering sustain ensures that the warm tones fill the entire space, making it feel cozy yet energized. It provides a beautiful contrast when played alongside the cooler tones of the Aqua and Aria chimes.
​Craftsmanship & Harmony:
​Handmade with excellent craftsmanship in the French Pyrenees, the oiled bamboo veneer is both visually appealing and crucial for the rich acoustic quality. The Ignis chime is vital for completing the four-element harmony. When played in a set with Terra (Earth), Aqua (Water), and Aria (Air), the Ignis adds the necessary spark of passion and warmth, creating a truly complete and balanced sound journey.
​Application:
​I use the Ignis chime when I need to encourage motivation, creativity, or warmth. Its sound is engaging and helps to break stagnation. It is a fantastic tool for elevating the energy of a room or signaling a shift in mood during a sound session.
​In summary, the Koshi Ignis Chime is an essential addition to the collection. It provides a unique, warm, and highly energetic sound profile. It is highly recommended for its beautiful craftsmanship, vibrant tone, and its ability to bring passion and warmth to any sonic landscape.

Now have the pleasure of owning the 4 Koshi chimes. Ignis now adds a balance between the 4 Koshi Chimes and alongside the Aqua, Aria and Tetris I have found that it takes meditation and therapies to a more subtle but deeper altered state. I use the chimes in Sound baths, Sound Therapy sessions alongside Gongs and crystal singing bowls and they all complement each other while raising and then lowering the vibrations. Highly recommend the Ignis Koshi chimes to existing sound practitioners as part of their collection of instruments or even for anyone simply to listen to. Ideal size and weight for storage , transportation or even just hanging somewhere sheltered but breezy. Wether purchasing Ignis on its own or alongside the other three Koshi chimes adds quite an element to your sound bath, therapy session and as the chimes can also be played by hand makes them an even more of an asset to the practitioner or owner.
