Listen to the Koshi Forest chime OUR OTHER EARTH SYMPHONY MELODIES MOUNTAIN WalnutRIVER CherryOCEAN Maple The Koshi Forest melody Forest has a deep and contemplative character. Its melody is inspired by the forest as a living space and may evoke mysterious voices as much as silence. The twelve rods extend the resonance and create a dense, layered sound. The melody is in F# minor: C# F# F# G# G# A A C# F# G# A C#. Four of the twelve rods are doubled at the same frequency and act as sympathetic resonators, which gives the Earth Symphony chimes their extra depth and long, immersive resonance. All four Earth Symphony melodies share the same harmonic coherence. Forest can be played alone or together with Mountain, River and Ocean in any combination, and because it is tuned to 440 Hz it sits easily alongside other instruments or voices in a musical piece. How to use the Koshi Forest chime Basic playing: hold the chime by its cord and let it hang freely. A gentle turn of the wrist lets the central clapper set the rods in motion and release a cascade of broad, deep notes. The wider the movement, the more rods sound. A slow pendulum swing plays individual notes. In the wind: the chime can simply be hung outdoors or by an open window, where the breeze plays melodies of its own. Meditation: use Forest to open and close a meditation session. Sound therapy and sound yoga: Forest sits naturally alongside singing bowls, gongs and other harmonic instruments. It is light enough to move through the room, let the sound travel, mark a change of pace or guide listening toward silence.
