The Koshi chime is one of the most powerful sounding instruments for its size. Eight metal rods, welded with silver into the base plate, vibrate within a cylindrical bamboo resonance body — creating something most wind chimes cannot: a self-sustaining sound. Choose your element and let it resonate.

Circular soundscape, 4 element tunings, long bamboo resonance
The Koshi chime is one of the most powerful sounding instruments for its size. Eight metal rods, welded with silver into the base plate, vibrate within a cylindrical bamboo resonance body — creating something most wind chimes cannot: a self-sustaining sound. Choose your element and let it resonate.
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.
