Koshi Chimes have four melodic tunings inspired by the four alchemical elements: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water (Terra, Aria, Ignis, Aqua). Earth (Terra) represents practicality, harmony, the senses. It has a cool and dry energy. Water (Aqua) represents deep feeling, emotions, and intuition. It has a cool and fluid energy. Air (Aria) represents thoughts, communication, and perception. It has a warm and fluid energy. Fire (Ignis) represents action, energy, and passion. It has a warm and dry energy. When singing together, the Full Set of Four Chimes builds cascading resonance and warm tones, pure elemental balance and bliss.
Koshi Chimes are made from a bamboo resonating tube with eight metal tines on the inside, attached to a small metal base. They were developed by Kabir, inventor of the Shanti Chime. These chimes are perfect for sound baths and sound healers working with gongs, singing bowls, crystal bowls and more.

NOTE: Koshi Chimes can be kept outside, but like all wooden objects it's best to treat them regularly with a protective oil like colorless Tung or Teak oil. It is best to keep them sheltered from rain. If you missed this warning and your chime developed some mold, it can be cleaned with a bit of diluted bleach

Understanding Pitch & Cents
Each bowl is marked with its note like C or F and a cents value — 0, or a +/− number such as +10 or −15. Cents measure how sharp or flat the bowl is relative to a perfect pitch. When building a set, matching cents closely is what makes the bowls sound harmonious together rather than disjointed.
Why Our Sets Are One-of-a-Kind
Every bowl varies in pitch, size, and alchemy, with only a limited number of each in existence — so no two sets we build are ever identical. Each one is hand-selected for sound, energetic quality, aesthetics, and stackability, and ready for one-on-one sessions, group healing, sound baths, or performance.
Not Sure Which Bowl or Set Is Right for You?
We’re happy to help you choose bowls that match in cents and complement your existing collection. Build Your Perfect Set →
