Asli Arts 14-Inch Autumn Leaves Capiz Chime

With this mobile-like chime, colorful capiz shell leaves shimmer and dance in the wind from brown steel branches. Capiz are farmed in Indonesia and every bit is used. The pieces are carefully sorted, dried, sliced, shaped, sanded and dyed. Strung together with strong, invisible, nylon cord, the thin, flat translucent pieces provide luminous color. In the 1500s, capiz were used as windowpanes in houses; now they are used in all sorts of home decorations, including lamp shades and vases and - of course - windchimes! This wonderful capiz chime was hand-crafted with pride by craftsmen of Bali. Suitable for indoor or outdoor use. Maintenance: Every part of a Woodstock Chime is weather protected. Woodstock capiz chimes should not need regular cleaning. If necessary, use mild soap and water (or a foaming, non-abrasive cleanser) to clean the capiz. Woodstock Percussion, Inc., makers of Woodstock Chimes and the Woodstock Music Collection, is a leading manufacturer of precision-tuned windchimes, award-winning musical instruments and soothing home and garden decor. Grammy recipient Garry Kvistad and his wife, Diane, created their first product over 30-year ago in New York's Hudson Valley, where the company continues to design gifts and accessories using superior materials found around the world.
