Concerto chimes do not have any wooden components - the top and the
wind catcher are of steel with a black powder coating; the striker is
of a black polymer which produces soft tones upon contact with the 5
hollow, aluminium chimes with satin black finish.
Both ends of the chimes have been bevelled to produce shiny silver edges which contrast attractively with the black.
The cord from which each tubes hangs is attached to a device seated
within each tube rather than passing through a pair of holes drilled
into the tube walls: this construction allows the metal to resonate for longer. It is
also aesthetically pleasing.
The wind catcher is circular, curved to catch the breeze.
The chime has a robust black 'S' hook, also finished in black, for ease of hanging.
Packed in an attractive presentation box.
