The Zaphir Crystalide wind chime is hand-tuned in the French Pyrenees. Its character is crystal clear, sparkling — eight internal metal tongues create a long, crystalline tone when gently struck. Zaphir chimes were designed by the original creators of Koshi, and every piece has micro-differences — finding two identical ones is rare.

Sound and character
The Crystalide model is built on a pentatonic scale: sustained overtones, never harsh or aggressive — dreamlike and floating. It sounds equally well handheld, hanging in the wind, or placed on a rattan stand.
Use cases
Terrace, garden tree, indoor meditation corner — all fitting locations. Useful as an opening or closing element in sound therapy sessions, a transition cue in yoga and qigong, or simply in a quiet bedtime ritual at home.
Why this product?

Tips for use
Hold the textile cord and gently swing sideways. Outdoors, hang in a sheltered dry spot — protection from direct rain extends life. Avoid prolonged damp, as the cardboard body can soften.
