The Zaphir Chime
Hold the chime by its string and move it gently, a magic play of harmonics will leave you in a quiet wonder...
With their relaxing and harmonizing sound, these chimes have become over the years a wonderful tool for relaxation , yoga and meditation, Feng Shui , Sound-sessions and other forms of therapy.
The handy size of these instruments makes them easy to use and play.
But also suspended in the doorway , of a window left opened, a slight breeze may surprise you with unexpected melodies- Sounds, colours are opening each one to resonance , to an infinite inner being.
Technical information
Each instrument has 8 metal cords of different lengths, welded with silver into a metal ring. Upon assembly, the cords are again carefully tuned to refine the interaction of tones and overtones into a circular almost endless flow of harmonies.
The proportions of the resonance-tube coincides with the 'Golden Ratio' principles of Da Vinci, thus assuring optimal sound and resonance.
The resonance-tube of the chime is made of thin crushed and pressed layers of long fiber celluloid board. That creates the perfect acoustic qualities for the warm timbre and the crystalline sounds the Zaphir Chimes are known for.
The 5 tunings are named in the relation to the seasons.
Crystalide
(notes G A B D A G B D) , the Spring
Sunray
(notes G# B C# E G# E A C#) , the Summer
Twilight
(notes E G B C E G B C) , the Autumn
Blue Moon
(notes D F A B C E A# C), the Winter
Sufi
(notes F A D F A G A D) the Intermediary Season, that makes the link between the others
Crystalide, Sunray, Twilight et Sufi tunings are tuned on the chromatic scale, Blue Moon on the
pentatonic one.
Most of the materials used are natural, recyclable and of EEG origin / standards. The protective layers of varnish, and paint of the resonance-tube are ecological. The wooden parts are wax coated.
