Cylinder Bell Wind Chime Black 65 cm

The Cylinder Bell Wind Chime Black 65 cm is a wind chime with an unusual shape: instead of several tubes it has one large black metal cylinder resonator. The cylinder is capped with a dome with a teardrop cut-out, a striker hangs inside, and a leaf-shaped sail on a long string below catches the wind. Length about 65 cm, cylinder diameter about 8.6 cm, weight about 850 g.

The deep sound of a bell

A cylinder bell sounds quite different from an ordinary wind chime. The large resonator gives a deep, low and very long tone, like the strike of a gong or a temple bell: it swells slowly and fades just as slowly. This sound does not irritate but soothes, which is why cylinder bells are loved for meditation and relaxation.

The matt black finish gives the bell a strict, modern look; in Feng Shui black belongs to the Water element — wisdom and the flow of prosperity.

The cylinder bell in Feng Shui

A metal bell belongs to the Metal element: its rich ringing "wakes up" stagnant Qi and fills the space with calm. In Feng Shui metal bells are hung in the western and north-western parts of the home and by the entrance. The cylinder bell symbolically:

clears the space of negativity;
creates an atmosphere of calm and focus;
helps you relax and meditate;
invites luck into the home;
decorates a terrace, garden or living room.

Where to hang it

Because it weighs about 850 g, hang the bell on a strong hook or bracket: on a terrace, veranda, in a garden, gazebo, on the porch of a house or in a spacious room by a window. Its sound is loud and long, so it is not hung next to a bedroom.

Care

Wipe the cylinder and dome with a soft dry cloth. Take the bell indoors in strong wind and thunderstorms, and check the string for wear from time to time.

As a gift

A cylinder bell is a stylish gift for a country house, a yoga and meditation lover or a housewarming as a wish for harmony and peace.
