The Aureole Tunes collection from Nature's Melody do not have any wooden components. The 6 hollow, rose gold alloy chimes are suspended from a metal hoop which has a textured finish, as does the generously sized wind catcher.
The tubes are suspended on black nylon cord which is attached to a small metal rod welded horizontally inside each tube. This method allows the tubes to resonate for longer than traditionally strung chimes, where the cord passes through a pair of holes drilled into the tube.
The striker is of black plastic and has a small toggle on the underside which allows the striker to be pushed up the cord beyond the tubes (a "mute" button).
As with all the Nature's Melody chimes, it has a robust 'S'-hook at the top to hang it. Please note it is a fairly heavy item - it's easier to hang it up if there are two of you!
Tuned to the scale of E.
