How to play your Koshi Earth Symphony on the stand Assembly: the wooden rod simply slots into the base plate and the chime hangs from its end. Basic playing: hold the chime by its cord and let it hang freely. A gentle turn of the wrist sets the clapper in motion and releases a cascade of notes. The wider the movement, the more rods sound. A slow pendulum swing plays individual notes. Sound healing and sound massage: both hands stay free for working with singing bowls, while the chime hangs within reach on the stand and can be sounded at any moment. Meditation: place the stand with its chime at your meditation spot. Open and close a meditation with the Koshi chime. Garden and terrace: place the stand on the balcony or terrace. Bring it inside when it rains to protect the wood. Recording and musical use: tuned to 440 Hz, the chime accompanies other instruments and voices without retuning.
