Bamboo wind chimes

The bamboo wind chime: a musical decoration for your garden or terrace

The bamboo wind chime, also known as a wind chime,is a traditional Asian decorative object that decorates your exteriors and plays soft music as soon as the breeze rises.

The wind makes bamboo tubes dance, which collide and produce low notes (for long tubes) or more acute notes (for short tubes). The higher the number of tubes of different lengths, the richer the melody played by the chime.

According to Feng Shui'sprecepts, wind chimes facilitate the flow of Chi energy,which promotes the abundance of life in your garden!

Why choose a bamboo wind chime?

There are many models of wind chimes, designed in different ways, with various and varied materials. Coco Papaya offers a range of wind chimes mainly made of bamboo.

Asian craftsmen have chosen bamboo as the main material for their wind chimes, and they have been making them in the same way for centuries. There are several reasons for this:

• First, bamboo is an imputrescible material. This means that it is insensitive to moisture and never rots. This ensures a very long lifespan for the wind chime.

• Bamboo is an inexpensive natural resource, available in gigantic quantities, renewable and non-polluting. Bamboo is rarely grown. It is more often taken from the wild and renews itself at an incredible speed. But even when grown, it does not require fertilizer or chemical treatment to grow, and therefore does not deplete soils.

• Finally, the bamboo tubes produce a very pleasant soft sound, in total harmony with the Zen spirit sought to make the garden a place of relaxation and relaxation.

So we see that the bamboo chime is a great choice because it is resistant, it produces music that is pleasant to listen to, and is environmentally friendly!

You will find, by consulting our online shop, that other materials join had bamboo to decorate the chime: more often than not, it is coconut and straw. These materials have the same advantages as bamboo in terms of strength and resistance to the trials of time. They are also natural and renewable. They allow our craftsmen to create original and very decorative wind chimes!

Where to place a wind chime?

In Asia, where the wind chime originates, it is most often placed outdoors: in the garden (hanging from the branch of a tree), on the terrace, under the pergola... The ideal location will be exposed to a gentle and indirect wind, which will allow to obtain the prettiest sounds. Indeed, the music of the chime is less pleasant to hear when the wind blows loud.

You can also place your wind chime indoors as a decorative object to hang. But in this case, you will hear it less often, except when a current of air will pass through it. A trick is to place it in the race of a door: so, when a person opens or closes that door, the chime will produce his beautiful music and warn you!

Finally, for a Garden or Feng Shui Interior, it is recommended to place the bamboo chime to the south or southeast of the garden or room in which it is hung.
