The Koshi chime is a finely crafted musical instrument, handmade in a small workshop at the foot of the Pyrenees Mountains in France.
If you've attended a sound bath at The Sound Healing Center of Lexington, you may recognize these chimes. Their gentle, bell-like tones often become one of the most memorable sounds of the experience.
Each chime is carefully tuned to produce clear, pure tones that naturally blend with one another. The sound comes from eight precisely tuned metal rods inside a wooden resonance chamber made from bamboo veneer, creating a deep, lingering resonance rich in overtones.
Each chime is inspired by one of the four elements. While every tuning has its own character, they are designed to harmonize beautifully when played together.
Terra (Earth) — G C E F G C E G
Aqua (Water) — A D F G A D F A
Aria (Air) — A C E A B C E B
Ignis (Fire) — G B D G B D G A
You can move the chime gently by its cord to play it yourself, or hang it near an open window and allow the wind to bring the tones to life.
