Listen to how it sounds

Koshi Mountain Wind Chime • 440Hz • Earth Symphony

Broad, grounded and contemplative, the Koshi Mountain Chime is part of the new Koshi Earth Symphony collection, inspired by the great landscapes and presences of Nature.

Handcrafted and individually hand-tuned at the foot of the French Pyrenees, Mountain contains twelve steel rods arranged around the notes E • E • G# • G# • A • A • B • B • E • G# • A • B, creating an E 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 Mountain a deeper, more immersive sonic character.

The result is a spacious, grounded and contemplative sound in which individual notes appear, interact and slowly fade away.

Mountain 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, Mountain may symbolically evoke height, silence, stability, presence and the scale of the natural landscape.

Mountain 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.

Mountain • Earth Symphony

Mountain is one of four melodies within the Koshi Earth Symphony collection.

Where the classic Koshi 4 Elements range takes inspiration from Earth, Water, Air and Fire, Earth Symphony turns toward four great natural landscapes:

Mountain • Forest • River • Ocean

Mountain opens the collection with a broad, grounded and contemplative resonance.

Its musical character is inspired by the scale and stillness of mountain landscapes and may evoke height, silence, stability and presence.

The notes emerge slowly, respond to one another and then fade gradually back into silence.

The Mountain association is symbolic and musical rather than a claim of fixed energetic effects.

Notes & Harmonic Structure

Mountain is built around the notes:

E • E • G# • G# • A • A • B • B • E • G# • A • B

These notes form an E 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 parts of the harmonic structure and contribute to the broader depth and sustained resonance of the instrument.

Rather than functioning as twelve isolated tones, the rods work together as one complete harmonic ensemble.

Twelve Hand-Tuned Steel Rods

Mountain contains twelve steel rods.

That 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 increase the number of harmonic relationships available within the instrument.

This helps create a wider and more immersive field of sound without simply making the chime louder.

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 can reinforce parts of the harmonic structure and contribute to greater depth, sustain and resonance.

This is one of the main reasons Mountain feels broader and more immersive than an 8-rod chime.

440Hz Tuning Reference

Koshi Mountain 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 E major structure.

The 440Hz reference forms part of the wider tuning system used to position those notes accurately within the harmonic ensemble.

Each rod is tuned individually until it sits correctly within the complete instrument.

How to Play the Koshi Mountain

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 resonant 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 longer resonance and interaction between the rods to develop more naturally.

Use as a Wind Bell

Mountain 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.

Koshi Mountain Meditation Chime

Mountain works beautifully as a meditation chime where a broader, slower and more contemplative sound is preferred.

A gentle movement at the beginning of a practice can mark the transition into stillness, while another at the end can signal the return to ordinary awareness.

The extended resonance gives individual notes time to emerge, interact and fade.

This makes Mountain especially suited to listening practices where space and silence are just as important as the sound itself.

During Meditation

Mountain can be used at the beginning or end of meditation, during breathwork, between stages of a practice or simply as a focus for attentive listening.

Its spacious character allows notes to unfold slowly rather than crowding the silence.

There is no required sequence.

Yoga Chime

Mountain also suits yoga and movement practice.

Its light weight makes it easy for a teacher or practitioner to move through a space, while the longer resonance can mark transitions without sounding abrupt.

It can work especially well during restorative yoga, savasana, breathwork, slow transitions and quiet mindfulness periods.

Sound Bath & Sound Practice

Within sound practice, Mountain can sit naturally alongside singing bowls, gongs and other harmonic instruments.

Its twelve-rod structure creates a broad tonal layer that can add depth without overwhelming deeper instruments.

Because the chime is light enough to move easily, a practitioner can also allow the sound to travel through the space.

Mountain can be used to introduce a session, mark transitions, add sustained harmonic depth, create a broader tonal field or guide attention back toward silence.

References to sound baths or sound therapy describe the contexts in which the instrument may be used and do not imply guaranteed therapeutic outcomes.

Walnut Resonance Chamber

Mountain uses a walnut wood resonance chamber.

The walnut body is treated with a thin coat of matte varnish.

The wooden chamber surrounds the twelve steel rods and helps amplify and sustain their vibration.

This allows notes to linger and interact rather than disappearing immediately after the first strike.

The combination of walnut and steel contributes to Mountain's long, clear and warm resonance.

Brass & Coconut Shell Clapper

Mountain uses a brass and coconut shell clapper.

As the chime moves, the clapper strikes different rods naturally, creating changing combinations of notes and harmonics.

The manufacturer describes the Earth Symphony construction as plastic-free.

Sound Character

Mountain has a broad, grounded and contemplative sound.

Its twelve-rod construction gives it greater harmonic depth than the classic 8-rod Koshi format.

Individual notes emerge clearly, interact with their doubled resonators and slowly fade into the wider harmonic field.

The result is spacious rather than busy.

This makes Mountain especially suited to situations where you want a sound with presence, depth and a slower sense of movement.

Mountain Symbolism

Mountain takes its inspiration from the great mountain landscapes of Nature.

Its musical character may evoke height, silence, stability, presence, stillness, majesty and spaciousness.

These associations describe the inspiration behind the melody rather than guaranteed energetic properties of the instrument.

You can choose Mountain entirely because you enjoy its sound.

Designed to Play with Forest, River & Ocean

The four Koshi Earth Symphony melodies were designed to work alone or in dialogue with one another.

Mountain • Forest • River • Ocean

Their chords remain musically coherent when different combinations are played together.

Mountain provides a broad and grounded foundation within the collection, while Forest, River and Ocean each bring their own harmonic character and landscape inspiration.

You do not need all four to enjoy Earth Symphony, but the collection has been designed so that its melodies can respond freely to one another.

Koshi Earth Symphony & 4 Elements

Koshi now has two distinct musical collections.

Earth Symphony contains Mountain, Forest, River and Ocean. Each Earth Symphony chime uses 12 steel rods, 4 doubled sympathetic resonators, a 440Hz tuning reference, a fine-wood resonance chamber, a brass and coconut shell clapper, and plastic-free construction as supplied.

The classic Koshi 4 Elements collection contains Terra, Aqua, Aria and Ignis.

Those chimes use 8 rods, treated bamboo resonance chambers and an adjusted 432Hz reference.

The two collections are separate musical systems.

Which Koshi Collection Should I Choose?

Choose Earth Symphony if you want a broader, more immersive Koshi sound with twelve rods and a 440Hz reference.

Choose the classic 4 Elements range if you prefer the original eight-rod Koshi format with Terra, Aqua, Aria and Ignis and an adjusted 432Hz reference.

Within Earth Symphony, Mountain is especially suited to someone drawn to a broad, grounded and contemplative musical character.

Care & Storage

Koshi Mountain is a handcrafted musical instrument and benefits from gentle handling.

Keep the walnut resonance chamber dry and wipe it gently with a soft cloth when required.

For the longest life:

  • protect from prolonged rain and damp
  • avoid frost and extreme weather
  • avoid prolonged strong sunlight or excessive heat
  • do not twist or pull internal components
  • protect from drops and hard impacts
  • avoid soaking or harsh cleaning products
  • store indoors in a dry place when not in use
