Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
Heir to traditional wind chimes, this model belongs to a lineage where craftsmanship meets modern acoustics. The Cousto approach, inspired by natural frequency ratios, delivers an immediately coherent musical signature. Carefully selected materials, refined finishes, and meticulous tuning place it among the high-end references for intimate stages, studios, yoga spaces, or sound relaxation environments.
Offered in two complementary lengths, it easily integrates into both fixed and mobile setups while maintaining timbre consistency and intonation precision.
Intended Audience for This Wind Chime
Accessible to musicians of all levels, it also appeals to teachers, sound designers, sound therapists, and wellness practitioners. Its soft and enveloping spectrum suits contemplative music, cinematic textures, world music, and sound illustration. Its handling is immediate, inspiring effortless harmonic layers.
Features and Innovations
The 7 anodized aluminum tubes ensure a consistent response, clear timbre, and excellent durability. The alder frame, protected by oil and wax, stabilizes the structure and preserves the wood's vibratory qualities. At the center, the "drop" pendulum guarantees smooth triggering, promoting uniform harmonic dispersion. The Cousto tuning on "Venus" enhances musicality: reliable intonation, sound consistency, and an overall balanced sensation, equally relevant in relaxation and performance contexts.
Sound Characteristics
The attack is soft and precise, followed by a rich harmonic halo that elegantly extends. Aluminum provides clarity, definition, and controlled projection, while alder softens the high frequencies, imparting subtle warmth to the spectrum. The result: a bright and stable soundscape, perfect for layering multiple sources without harshness. Whether in an intimate environment or a larger space, clarity remains remarkable and listening is soothing.
