Product Description

Inspired by alluring seaside colors and relaxing ocean sounds, Asli Arts' copyrighted Glass Buoy Bamboo Chimes merge hand-tuned bamboo chimes with jewel-toned glass tops replicated after antique glass fishing floats. The cobalt-colored Medium Glass Buoy Bamboo Chime hangs 23 in total length, with bamboo chimes strung on weather resistant nylon cord from a 3.5 diameter glass ball. Story of Time and Tide - In 1910 Japanese fisherman began producing glass floats for fishing nets used in the Pacific Ocean. The hand-blown glass buoys worked so well that over the decades millions were made. Tossed in turbulent storms, thousands subsequently broke loose to float on the Pacific Ocean's great waves. To the delight of beachcombers today, the North Pacific Drift currents deposited these handcrafted relics on Pacific Ocean shores. Asli Arts' Glass Buoy Bamboo Chimes, hand-made in Vietnam, combine the beauty and nostalgia of a replica hand-blown glass floating buoy with the relaxing, melodic tones of bamboo chimes. Making Asli Arts Chimes - Every Asli Arts chime showcases our signature hand-tuned chimes featuring the mellow, earth-inspired tones of resonating bamboo tubes. Each Asli Arts chime is hand-tuned by a trained artist-musician who whittles each tube to the perfect pitch, repeatedly tapping each bamboo tube as he carves until the sound is just right. Then our artisans select a range of tube sizes that when combined and touched by gentle breezes, create a deep resonating sound. Bamboo tubes emit notes based on size, large tubes produce lower tones and smaller tubes emit higher-pitched sounds. By hand-tuning each tube, then selecting a range of sizes, each Asli Arts chime produces a melody unique to itself. About Asli Arts - Asli Arts, a small woman-owned business, is committed to producing innovative and quality home and garden decor products utilizing sustainable and recycled materials and the creative talents of Southeast Asian artists.
