Koshi Chime

A sound that carries itself forward

What sets Koshi apart from ordinary sound instruments: As the fundamental notes fade, the overtones emerge, becoming new fundamental notes. The sound circles endlessly, without beginning or end. This isn't magic; it's the result of decades of sound craftsmanship in a small workshop in the Pyrenees.

Four Tunings, Four Characters

Each element represents its own sound world. Fire resonates in a radiant major triad — warm, lively, energetic. Earth revolves around a stable center — grounded, harmonious, reliable. Water flows inward — deep, soft, meditative. Air expands outward — bright, open, floating. All four share the same circular sound space. What changes is the direction in which they carry you.

Handmade. Not mass-produced.

Each Koshi is crafted by hand at the foot of the Pyrenees, on a small scale. The eight sound rods are welded with silver into the metal base plate — no glue, no screws. Just metal and craftsmanship. The cylindrical bamboo resonance body is not merely decorative: it gives the sound its unique character.

For those who want to use sound intentionally

Whether for free play, in quiet moments, or as a resonant object in a room — the Koshi chime requires no prior knowledge. Simply give it a gentle swing. The sound takes care of the rest.
