"The Deep Forest Chime" Seed Chime

How to play: Hold the handle or support and gently shake by hand to make the seed shells sound. This is a hand-played percussion piece; wind will not activate it.

A dense cluster of natural coconut shells and seed pods that sounds deep and resonant — a drumbeat from the heart of the woods.

The Story: The Bountiful Harvest

While some hand bells tinkle, "The Deep Forest Chime" resonates. Shaped like a heavy bough laden with forest fruit, this piece has weight and presence.

Suspended from a rustic jute-wrapped hoop, layers of dark, polished coconut cups and light, textured seed pods hang in a tight cluster. This "chandelier" structure means that with each gentle shake, the shells collide to produce a rich, hollow wooden "clunk" — a sound far softer and more meditative than metal, one that settles a space.

Key Features

• Dense Cluster Design: Unlike linear mobiles, this chime features a 3D tiered structure. The seeds and shells are hung close together in a circle, forming a "beehive" or "lantern" shape.
• Deep Acoustic Resonance: The use of thick, dark hollow shells (likely coconut or similar hard nuts) creates a deeper, louder, and more percussion-like sound compared to lighter seeds.
• Strong Contrast: The interplay between the smooth, dark chocolate shells and the rough, beige textured pods gives the piece its visual rhythm.
• Rustic Jute Suspension: The top ring is hand-wrapped in natural jute twine, ending in a sturdy braided loop, in keeping with the raw aesthetic.
• Hanging Sculpture: When hung, it has the presence of a sculpture, making it a natural focal point for a corner or porch.

Please Note

Please Read Before Buying:

• Weather Care: While sturdy, we recommend hanging this in a sheltered area (like a covered porch) to prolong the life of the natural twine and seeds.
