Price: $19.75 (as of 2014-01-30 - Details)

Hand-made using renewable resources. Transport yourself to the tropics with a gentle lullaby reminiscent of a wind-swept coconut palm grove. A gleaming 5" diameter whole coconut shell - created from inner shell of a coconut husk subjected to a seven-level sanding process - tops this 26" hand-tuned bamboo chime by Asli Arts. Hand-made in Bali. Every chime features the mellow, earth-inspired tones unique to resonating bamboo tubes. Each Asli Arts chime is hand-tuned by a trained artist-musician who whittles each tube to the perfect pitch, repeatedly tapping each bamboo tube as he carves until the sound is just right. Then our artisans select a range of tube sizes that when combined and touched by gentle breezes, create a deep resonating sound. Bamboo tubes emit notes based on size, large tubes produce lower tones and smaller tubes emit higher-pitched sounds. By hand-tuning each tube, then selecting a range of sizes, each Asli Arts chime produces a melody unique to itself. Asli Arts is committed to producing innovative and quality home and garden decor products utilizing sustainable and recycled materials and the creative talents of Southeast Asian artists.
