A gleaming black bamboo ring is the simple and effective top for the melodic Black Ring Bamboo Chime. Naturally weather resistant, this melodic 42" long chime was inspired by the talented percussion musicians of Vietnam. Hand-made in Vietnam. Making Asli Arts Chimes - Every Asli Arts chime features the mellow, earth-inspired tones unique to resonating bamboo tubes. Each Asli Arts chime is hand-tuned by a trained artist-musician who whittles each tube to the perfect pitch, repeatedly tapping each bamboo tube as he carves until the sound is just right. Then our artisans select a range of tube sizes that when combined and touched by gentle breezes, create a deep resonating sound. Bamboo tubes emit notes based on size, large tubes produce lower tones and smaller tubes emit higher-pitched sounds. By hand-tuning each tube, then selecting a range of sizes, each Asli Arts chime produces a melody unique to itself. About Asli Arts - Asli Arts, a small woman-owned business, is committed to producing innovative and quality home and garden decor products utilizing sustainable and recycled materials and the creative talents of Southeast Asian artists.
