The Zaphir Chime was born in 1992 under the name of Shanti. After 18 years of collaboration the co-founders Johannes Kolkmeijer and Maria Maeijer decided to create two separate brands. Zaphir and Shanti.
Technical Information:
Each instrument has 8 metal cords of different lengths, welded with silver into a metal ring. Upon assembly, the cords are again carefully tuned to refine the interaction of tones and overtones into a circular almost endless flow of harmonies.
The proportions of the resonance-tube coincides with the ‘Golden Ratio’ principles of Da Vinci, thus assuring optimal sound and resonance.
The resonance-tube of the chime is made of thin crushed and pressed layers of long fiber celluloid board. That creates the perfect acoustic qualities for the warm timbre and the crystalline sounds the Zaphir Chimes are known for.
Most of the materials used are natural, recyclable and of EEG origin / standards. The protective layers of varnish, and paint of the resonance-tube are ecological. The wooden parts are wax coated.
Additional Information
Zaphir chimes are appreciated for their quality, their crystal-clear sound and their glowing colours. With their harmonising and relaxing sound, Zaphir chimes have become over the years, a wonderful tool for relaxation, yoga, meditation, Feng Shui, sound-sessions and other forms of therapy.
Suspended in the doorway or by an open window, a light breeze will surprise you with an enchanted melody. Or hold the chime by the cross bar at the top and swing it gently. A magic melody of harmonics will leave you in a quiet wonder.

Crystalide / Spring G A B D A G B D
