Truth: I generally find chimes annoying. However, my daughter loves them so I ordered this for her. It has a lovely sound; especially surprising given its higher pitch. It is well made and beautifully tuned such that even a wind chime curmudgeon like me enjoys it.
I was looking for a wind chime that wouldn't make the discordant metallic sounds that metal chimes do. I hung this item off of my patio and it makes hollow, but resonant wooden tones in a soft breeze; exactly what I was looking for. Very pleased!
I compare Trisna's piece to a few coconut shell percussion instruments I found with Native Americans. They are all beautiful. This maraca stands out unique.
