# Koshi Ocean Wind Chime - 440Hz - Earth Symphony ## Koshi Ocean Wind Chime • 440Hz • Earth Symphony Vast, deep and welcoming, the Koshi Ocean Chime is part of the new Koshi Earth Symphony collection, inspired by the scale and movement of the ocean. Handcrafted and individually hand-tuned at the foot of the French Pyrenees, Ocean contains twelve steel rods arranged around the notes C# • D# • D# • F# • F# • B • B • C# • D# • F# • B • C#, creating a pentatonic B major harmonic structure. Each rod is tuned by hand with reference to 440Hz, allowing the notes to settle into a broad and coherent harmonic ensemble. Four of the twelve rods are doubled at identical frequencies, acting as sympathetic resonators. These repeated pitches help extend the resonance and give Ocean a deeper, more immersive sonic character. The result is a broad, continuous and spacious sound in which the notes seem to open outward and flow into one another. Ocean can be played by hand during meditation, yoga and sound practice, combined with singing bowls and gongs, or suspended in a sheltered position where movement of the air allows the chime to play naturally. Within the Earth Symphony collection, Ocean may symbolically evoke infinity, fulfilment, movement, openness and the boundless scale of the sea. Ocean is one of four complementary Koshi Earth Symphony melodies: Mountain • Forest • River • Ocean The classic Koshi 4 Elements collection remains a separate range featuring Terra, Aqua, Aria and Ignis with 8 rods and an adjusted 432Hz reference. #### Product Details - **Brand:** Koshi - **Collection:** Koshi Earth Symphony - **Melody:** Ocean - **Inspiration:** Ocean landscapes, vastness and continuous movement - **Notes:** C# • D# • D# • F# • F# • B • B • C# • D# • F# • B • C# - **Scale / Harmonic Centre:** Pentatonic B major - **Sound Character:** Vast, deep, welcoming and flowing - **Product Type:** Tuned wind chime / wind bell / meditation chime - **Rods:** 12 individually hand-tuned steel rods - **Sympathetic Resonators:** 4 rods doubled at identical frequencies - **Tuning:** With reference to 440Hz - **Rod Construction:** Steel rods soldered with silver onto a metal base - **Resonance Chamber:** Maple wood - **Clapper:** Brass and coconut shell - **Plastic:** Plastic-free construction as supplied - **Approx.

Its musical character may evoke boundless space, continuity, movement and fulfilment. The twelve rods create a broad harmonic field in which notes unfold with a continuous, spacious quality. The Ocean association is symbolic and musical rather than a claim of fixed energetic effects. #### Notes & Harmonic Structure Ocean is built around the notes: C# • D# • D# • F# • F# • B • B • C# • D# • F# • B • C# These notes form a pentatonic B major harmonic structure. Each of the twelve rods is individually tuned by hand. Four pitches are doubled at identical frequencies, creating what Koshi describes as sympathetic resonators. These repeated rods reinforce selected frequencies and contribute to the instrument's greater depth, sustain and immersive resonance. Rather than functioning as twelve isolated tones, the rods work together as one complete harmonic ensemble. #### Twelve Hand-Tuned Steel Rods Ocean contains twelve steel rods. This gives Earth Symphony a broader sonic architecture than the classic 8-rod Koshi 4 Elements collection. Each rod is individually tuned before being soldered with silver onto a metal base. The additional rods create more harmonic relationships within the instrument and allow the sound to develop with greater breadth and sustain. The effect is not simply greater volume. It is a wider field of interacting notes, repeated frequencies and harmonics. #### Sympathetic Resonators One of the defining technical features of Earth Symphony is the use of doubled rods. Four rods are tuned to frequencies already present elsewhere in the instrument. These doubled pitches act as sympathetic resonators. When related notes sound, the repeated frequencies reinforce parts of the wider harmonic structure. This contributes to Ocean's depth, continuity and extended resonance. #### 440Hz Tuning Reference Koshi Ocean is tuned with reference to 440Hz. This does not mean that every rod produces a single 440Hz tone. Each rod has its own pitch within the pentatonic B major structure. The 440Hz reference forms part of the wider tuning system used to position those pitches accurately within the complete harmonic ensemble. Each rod is tuned individually until it sits correctly within the instrument. #### How to Play the Koshi Ocean Hold the chime by its cord and let the wooden body hang freely. Turn it gently with a small movement of the wrist. The central clapper then begins to strike the rods, bringing out a cascade of broad and deep notes. The broader the movement, the more rods are set in motion. For more isolated tones, swing the chime gently in a pendulum motion. There is no need to shake the instrument strongly. Gentle movement allows the resonance and relationship between the rods to develop more naturally. #### Use as a Wind Bell Ocean can also be suspended so that a gentle breeze moves the internal clapper. This allows it to function as a tuned wind bell. Because the movement of the air determines which rods sound and in what order, the resulting musical patterns remain changing and unpredictable. For longevity, indoor use or a dry, sheltered outdoor position is preferable to permanent exposure. Avoid prolonged rain, damp, frost and severe weather. ## Details - **Price:** 46.5 GBP - **Vendor:** Koshi Wind Chimes - **Tags:** Best Seller, Koshi & Heola Wind Bells, World Instruments | Sound Therapy, £12+ ## Variants | Variant | Price | Available | |---------|-------|-----------| | Default Title | 46.50 GBP | In stock | ## Images - Koshi Ocean Wind Chime - 440Hz - Earth Symphony_1 - Four wooden cylinder wind chimes with teardrop-shaped metal striker weights hanging from black cords against a warm beige background. - Koshi Ocean Wind Chime - 440Hz - Earth Symphony_2 - A minimalist wooden wind chime with a cylindrical body and a teardrop-shaped striker, hanging from a thin branch against a dark navy blue background. - Koshi Ocean Wind Chime - 440Hz - Earth Symphony --- > Source: [Sacred Essence](https://www.sacredessence.co.uk/products/koshi-ocean-wind-chime-440hz-earth-symphony) > Updated: 2026-10-05
