Zen Premier 8-Note Gold Swinging Chimes

Luminous tone. Suspended harmony.

These swinging chimes offer a bright, spacious voice that opens into a shimmering field of sound.

Hand-tuned aluminum tubes are mounted on a balanced wooden frame, allowing them to move freely and respond with ease. When played, the tones unfold in a gentle cascade—clear, radiant, and lightly sustained.

A Luminous and Expansive Voice

The tuning centers around a sequence of notes that feel both familiar and slightly open-ended:

C#5 – D#5 – F5 – G#5 – A#5 – C#6 – D#6 – F6

There is no strong sense of resolution. Instead, the tones hover and relate in a way that feels suspended—creating space rather than closure.

The sound is bright and ethereal, yet still grounded enough to remain steady and accessible. Played softly, it offers a delicate shimmer. With more movement, it opens into a fuller, more immersive field.

Tuned to 432Hz, the overall pitch sits slightly lower, giving the chime a softened and more relaxed tonal quality.

Form and Movement

The frame is designed to allow the chimes to swing freely, shaping how the sound unfolds.

Rather than a fixed strike, the movement introduces subtle variation—each pass of the striker or shift in motion revealing a slightly different expression of the same tones.

The gold finish reflects light softly, adding a quiet visual presence that complements the sound.

A Practice-Centered Approach

This is an instrument of unfolding.

You may begin with a single pass across the chimes, and listen as the tones spread and settle. There is no need to guide the sound—it carries itself.

Over time, you may notice how the intervals create space, how the tones remain without needing to resolve, and how attention rests within that openness.
