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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe melody is in \u003cstrong\u003eF# minor\u003c\/strong\u003e: C# F# F# G# G# A A C# F# G# A C#.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use the Koshi Forest chime\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBasic playing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.
