I'm so sorry for the lengthy delay pertaining to the review of this fantastic 5 tone hand chime! It really does deserve all the praise that can be given via an online review. (And so does Nate O., who created it with his own hands!)Every aspect of this instrument (heck, I would even go as far as to call it a work of art!) is spot on. It arrived entirely intact, without any scratches, chips, or dents. I find this rather surprising, as I usually have awful luck with my deliveries being tossed about either in transit or poor handling at some point throughout the pipeline. All pieces were carefully wrapped with what appears to be recyclable brown paper, and the whole lot came packaged in a sturdy box with a label on the top. The label had both the item name and an image of the item. It looks quite professional and, in my opinion, would be able to be gifted as-is, without any need for the addition of wrapping paper. Well done, y'all!The instrument itself is gorgeous. The wood is attractive and well finished without any rough spots or cracks. The rods are also well made, and secured evenly to the wood with some sort of elasticized cording. Nothing is out of place and no adjustments are necessary, other than a careful cutting of the attached tag that designates the manufacturer. (Which in my case was Nate. ...I hope you don't mind my forward praise, haha, but you have been gifted a great talent! 🙂) Removal of said tag is not difficult providing one uses a small pair of sharp scissors and has a decent attention span. (Please, no giant kitchen scissors or razors... you'll ruin the poor thing!) The mallet seems adequate as well, but I prefer to use my own because it has sentimental value. I will mention, though, that my young son ran off with the included mallet and it makes his cheap toy xylophone sound like something of quality. (Sorry!) Anyways, each tone sounds lovely, and I can pick up a faint overtone on the longest rod that I love. Now, I do not recommend attempting to sound every tone at once. This will give off an unpleasant dissonance. However, there are a few fine combinations that can be achieved if one were to play two or three tones in rapid succession. I also enjoy just messing around in an improv style, sounding one at a time to see if I can get a nice melody going. As for whether each tone is accurately tuned, I cannot say. I do not have perfect pitch, not do I own any special equipment to compare the frequencies, but it sounds great to me. I wanted to include a photo, but unfortunately the Amazon app is being finicky at the moment. Perhaps I will be able to amend this sometime in the future.In summary, this is a product that I whole-heartedly recommend both for meditation purposes, and also to those who simply want a fine instrument to fiddle around with.P.S. No, I do not know any of the staff, nor was I compensated to write this review. I just really love this set and I'm kinda weird, okay? 🙃

My first encounter with this chime was with the bishop over my congregation at church. He used it as a kinder way to tell people to please leave the chapel and go on to the next class so the next congregation could enter. Previously they had to "nag" and ask people to please make their way out of the chapel but now we hear these sweet little chimes and know it's time to go. I absolutely love it. SO much better. I run a small shop where my employees are frequently completing tasks in the back room while customers are working in the front. Often customers need assistance and employees are nowhere to be found. Instead of adding a regular old bell like most places have, I thought the energy chime would be more fun and inviting. It's been a hit. The kids love it, and honestly so do the adults. We even used it during a game once to signal that the time had run out. It was rung once almost every 10 seconds and didn't bother anyone. This chime is a game changer. Literally. I love it and would absolutely say it's worth the buy. You'll only ever need one. Its incredibly good quality and can be held in your hand, easily transported, or hung for easy storage. As an added bonus, the included mallet is kid friendly and easily nests between the chimes for simple storage :) We have kids all the time who just play the chime for fun instead of to ring the employees they love it so much.

I bought this chime to use in my classroom as a soft signal to indicate the end of a timed writing session, or to use to start/end class challenges. The wood is beautiful with secure chimes. The chimes have a pleasant sound and continue vibrating after being struck with the mallet (included) depending on the force of the strike. My students enjoyed testing it, as well. I like that this is made in the U.S. rather than being imported, and that it is small enough to be easily transported. I have no complaints about this chime!

Made in the USA. Nice!The tonal quality is not as deep as some chimes I’ve played but the resonance lasts nicely and it really is a beautiful piece. The black oak is gorgeous and the craftsmanship is superb. If you are looking for some chimes that aren’t going to cost an arm and a leg and feel nice and relaxing while being played you can’t go wrong with this.I have a set of 7 quartz crystal singing bowls that I adore but sometimes I just don’t feel like setting them up but just want to have a mini “sound bath” and listen and feel the vibrations and resonances of chimes before or after I give myself a Reiki treatment or have meditation time. These chimes are very relaxing.

As opposed to another one that I bought here in returned, this chime lasts long and id great for my classroom

Este pequeño instrumento musical tiene un aspecto muy estético y su sonido es realmente como el de una campana, muy agradable, supongo que por eso lo recomiendan para meditar. El que me llego resuena a una frecuencia de 2689 Hz (E7) y su hechura es de primera. Excelente!

No se nada de música ni tonos pero para mi suena divino. Lo uso en mis clases de yoga y meditaciones

Perfect chime, worth paying a little more for this as its premium quality. Only improvement would be if it could come with a travel bag for protection.

Very high quality, beautiful sound. I use it in my classroom to get students' attention.

Thanks for this lovely bit of workmanshipI really like this a lot .I read some other reviews and would alsolike to say that I would like a lower tonepitch than this one also - I find this very highpitched..... I do love it though and especially theexcellent craftsmanship!THANK you !!
