Length: 31.5". A contemporary design adds flair to this classic bamboo chime. Made of strips of bamboo wrapped around a mold, the result is uniquely elegant and remarkably weather resistant. Six tubes. Length: 31.5". Spun bamboo is created using a technique that is over one thousand years old yet the resulting design is far from old fashioned. In fact, it's a wonderfully contemporary look that adds a touch of style and color to our garden. Spun bamboo is created by shaping thin strips of pliable bamboo around molds and drying them to shape. Pieces are then hand-sanded to a smooth, silky finish and multiple layers of weather-resistant varnish are applied to achieve a hard, glossy finish. Each piece is uniquely elegant, reflecting the textures of bamboo in an attractive spiral pattern. Bamboo gives our Asli Arts chimes a mellow, musical and enchanting sound unlike any other chime. Our chimes are made with pride by craftsmen of Bali and Vietnam. Each piece is individually carved, tuned and painted. Non-endangered wood, coconut shell, recycled metal and bamboo are used to make these instruments of nature. In addition, each chime is hand-tuned by musicians. Testing the sound of each tube, our musician-craftsmen create chimes that sound as good as they look. By hand-tuning each tube and selecting a range of sizes, each chime produces a unique melody of tones.
