Asli Arts 31.5 Inch Turquoise Bamboo Wind Chime

A charming addition to your patio, porch, or yard, the Asli Arts 31.5 Inch Turquoise Bamboo Wind Chime recreates the mellow and earthy sounds of nature, soothing your body and mind and bringing a sense of tranquility to your surroundings.

This stylish and remarkably weather-resistant chime boasts a traditional spun bamboo construction, a technique that is over one thousand years old. Spun bamboo is created by shaping thin strips of pliable bamboo around molds and drying them to shape. The pieces are then hand-sanded to a smooth, silky finish and multiple layers of weather-resistant varnish are applied to achieve a hard, glossy finish. The top and the sail are finished in beautiful turquoise, while the tubes reflect the natural textures of bamboo in an attractive spiral pattern.

Made from bamboo, one of the fastest-growing natural, renewable resources, the Asli Arts 31.5 Inch Turquoise Bamboo Wind Chime produces a mellow, musical, and soothing sound to make you feel one with nature. Each of the six bamboo tubes, hung from durable nylon cord, is individually hand-carved and hand-tuned by craftsmen in Bali. A range of tube sizes and careful hand-tuning produces a melody of tones. Measures 31.5 inches in overall length.

Caring for your Chime
This chime is varnished for lasting beauty and outdoor use. Small cracks are normal in bamboo. To avoid large cracks and fading, do not hang in direct sunlight or near heaters. The chime should be brought indoors in severely cold winter weather. To clean, simply wipe with a damp cloth.

Hanging your Chimes for the Best Musical Performance
Asli Arts by Woodstock chimes are known the world over for the purity and beauty of their sound. These chimes are designed to produce beautiful music from even the slightest breeze, but if you'd like to hear yours more often, here are a few ideas:

• Hang your chime directly from the O ring or loop at the top of the chime. Don't extend the top string of the chime by adding chain or string. This may cause the entire chime to swing, when in fact only the center string and clapper should move.
• Hang your chime where the wind can reach it from as many directions as possible. An open corner is ideal when hanging the chime from a building.
• Experiment with hanging your chime at different heights. Wind velocity tends to increase with higher elevation.
• Avoid hanging your chime within two feet of a wall or too close to plants, furniture and anything that might obstruct or divert the breeze. If you have a screened-in porch, you may find that even the screens will impede the breeze enough to prevent your chime from ringing.
• Try hanging your chime in different locations during different times of the year. The prevailing winds change seasonally.
