1 - Safety

Koshi chimes delight children of all ages. However, for safety reasons, they must be kept out of reach of children under three years of age.

2 - Use and care

Give your space an instrument designed to last.

To preserve the natural appearance of the wood and out of environmental consideration, it is protected by a thin layer of varnish providing basic protection against moisture.

The internal metal components feature a nickel-plated finish. If installed outdoors, slight traces of corrosion may appear over time. This does not affect the purity or sound quality of the instrument in any way.

Indoor installation is recommended: under these conditions, the instrument requires no particular maintenance and can last for many years.

For outdoor use, the chime must be installed under shelter and protected from the elements. As with any wooden object exposed to the environment, it is advisable to apply a coat of clear exterior wood varnish before use, and to renew this protection regularly.

3 - About the 4 elements

The element / melody relation came to me by intuition and is not based on any scientific or metaphysical discipline.

4 - About the name Koshi

Koshi is a name that I created by playing with sounds of vowels and consonants. It had no other intention. Later I found it has several meanings in languages like Japanese, Nepalese and Hindi. In Japanese, I heard, it can mean "ancient poetry", which I think is a nice association with the sound of the chimes.
