Both Koshi Chimes and Zaphir Chimes are easy to play yet endlessly expressive. Their ethereal melodies make them favorites for sound baths, meditation, yoga, classroom settings, and bedtime rituals.
Alone or paired with instruments like monochords, kalimbas, and tongue drums, these chimes transform any space into a sanctuary of sound.

✨ Our customers describe these chimes as “little angels,” “peace and balance,” and “magical instruments that never go out of tune.” Whether you’re leading a sound bath, offering energy work, or simply playing before bed, Koshi and Zaphir Chimes invite you to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with the elemental rhythm of life.
💫 How to Play Together
For a beautifully layered soundscape, play two chimes with the same color — such as Koshi Aqua & Zaphir Blue. They share the same tuning but slightly different timbres, creating a sweet twinkle effect (see our Twinkle Sets for combinations).
🔨 How the Koshi Chimes Are Made
Each Koshi Chime is a true musical instrument — handmade in the Koshi workshop at the foot of the Pyrenees. Eight metal chords are welded with silver into the base plate inside the bamboo resonance tube. Precision tuning creates clear, harmonic tones rich in overtones that form a continuous, circular melody.
The sound of the chimes delights children and adults alike. For safety, please keep them out of reach of children under three years.
🌬️ How to Play a Single Koshi Chime
Hold the chime gently by its cord and move it slowly — the crystalline tones will unfold effortlessly. When suspended, it will play naturally with the wind, carrying you away in an unexpected melody of peace and presence.
