The Aureole Tunes collection from Nature's Melody do not have any
wooden components. The 6 hollow, silver alloy chimes are suspended
from a silver 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).
This item is boxed.
The silver variant sounds exactly the same as the black variant shown in the video clip below.
