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.

About the Koshi Forest Chime, Oak, Earth Symphony Collection.
Made in France
What is the Koshi Forest wind chime?
The Koshi Forest is a handmade chime from the new Earth Symphony collection, made in the Koshi workshop at the foot of the French Pyrenees. Twelve steel rods are silver-soldered to a metal plate at the base of an oak resonance chamber and hand-tuned with reference to 440 Hz, in F# minor: C# F# F# G# G# A A C# F# G# A C#. Four of the rods are doubled at the same frequency as sympathetic resonators, which gives the collection its longer, deeper resonance. Gaiachimes is an authorised Koshi retailer.
What does it sound like?
Deep, dense and contemplative. Its melody is inspired by the forest as a living space and can suggest both mysterious voices and silence. Listen to the sound sample further up this page.
How is it different from the original Koshi Terra, Aqua, Aria and Ignis?
The 4 Elements chimes have eight rods and are tuned to an adjusted 432 Hz. The Earth Symphony chimes have twelve rods, four of them doubled as sympathetic resonators, and are tuned to 440 Hz. The result is a broader, deeper and longer resonance. Earth Symphony also uses fine woods rather than bamboo, oak in the case of Forest.
Can Forest be played with Mountain, River and Ocean?
Yes. The four Earth Symphony tunings share the same harmonic coherence, so they can be played alone or in any combination and always stay in harmony.
Can it be used in music with other instruments?
Yes. Because it is tuned to 440 Hz, it accompanies other instruments and voices without clashing, which also makes it suitable for musical recording.
Is it suitable for meditation and sound healing?
Yes. Forest is used to open and close meditation, and in sound baths, sound yoga, relaxation and sound therapy alongside singing bowls and gongs.
