I recently purchased the Koshi Chimes Terra (Earth) and I am absolutely delighted with this instrument. This is so much more than a wind chime—it is a beautifully crafted musical instrument that brings a profound sense of calm to any space.
Sound Quality & Tuning:
The sound is simply magical. It's incredibly clear, crystalline, and rich with overtones. The Terra tuning (G C E F G C E G, which is a C Major chord) has a wonderful, grounding quality, perfectly reflecting its connection to the Earth element. The long sustain allows the melody to fill the room and gradually fade, which is fantastic for guiding meditation or yoga practice. When gently moved by hand or played by a light breeze, the crystalline sound is instantly relaxing and mesmerizing.
Craftsmanship & Design:
The chimes are handmade in the French Pyrenees, and the meticulous craftsmanship is evident. The resonance tube, made from oiled bamboo veneer, is both strong and elegant, adding a lovely, natural aesthetic. It feels like a piece of functional art.
Versatility:
I use the Terra chime to signal the beginning and end of my meditation, and I also hang it near a window where a gentle draft can catch it. Its soft, unexpected melodies are a daily source of peace.
In summary, the Koshi Terra Chime is a high-quality instrument well worth the investment. It delivers a pure, resonant, and deeply harmonizing sound that instantly makes a space feel more tranquil and grounded. Highly recommended for sound healers, yoga practitioners, or anyone seeking a unique and elegant source of serenity.
