Zaphir Chime - Twilight (Autumn Season)

The Zaphir Chimes, The Original Design

Zaphir Chimes, well known for over 30 years, are appreciated for their quality, their crystal-clear sound and their glowing colours.

They are totally heart - and handmade in their workshop in the French Pyrenees.
Hold the Zaphir Chime by the string, then swing it gently. A magic melody of harmonics will leave you in a quiet wonder.

With their harmonizing and relaxing sound, the Zaphir Chimes have become over the years, a wonderful tool for relaxation, yoga, meditation, feng-shui, sound sessions and other forms of therapy.

Its handy size makes this instrument easy to use and play.

Suspended in the doorway or by an open window, a light breeze will surprise you with an enchanted melody.

Each instrument has 8 metal cords of different lengths, welded with silver into a metal ring. Upon assembly, the cords are again carefully tuned to refine the interaction of tones and overtones into a continuous flow of harmonies. The proportions of the resonance-tube coincides with the 'Golden Ratio' principles of Da Vinci, thus assuring optimal sound and resonance.

Thin crushed and pressed layers of long fibre celluloid board calendered, create the perfect acoustic qualities for the warm timbre and crystalline sounds Zaphir Chimes are known for.

Most of the materials used are natural, recyclable and of EEG origin / standards. The protective layers of varnish and paint of resonance-tube are ecological. The wooden parts are wax coated.

Outdoor Use
Despite the layer of ecological varnish and paint that has been applied on the parts of the chime, a regular maintenance with varnish or oil will help protect your Zaphir Chime.

Still, it cannot prevent the negative effects of weather conditions.

Suspended outside, like under a porch or any slightly protected place, the Chime will play for many years to come.

Warning
The Zaphir Chime is not a toy for children.
