Question 1

What does this shell wind chime sound like?

Accepted Answer

The shells and wooden beads produce a quiet, natural, warm tapping sound when they meet. The sound is softer and deeper than a glass wind chime - it evokes the sounds of nature: the seaside, a forest, tranquillity. In a breezy spot it sounds almost continuously; in calmer locations only stronger air movement will set it going.

Question 2

What is Coffea canephora and why does it appear in this wind chime?

Accepted Answer

Coffea canephora is the botanical name for robusta coffee. The coffee beans are natural, round, and dark brown - a visually very decorative element, and they can carry a faint coffee scent in the early period. In wind chimes they serve both as decorative elements and as natural weights that help the pieces move rhythmically.

Question 3

Can this wind chime be used outdoors?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. Outdoors, it is recommended to hang it in a sheltered spot so that rainwater does not permanently soak the raffia and wood elements. Long exposure to weather causes natural ageing, which in many cases only enhances the rustic character.
