Thetazen Cascara Waterfall Mixed Chime 156 Seed

The Thetazen Cascara Waterfall Mixed Chime 156 Seed is a grand wall-hanging percussion piece that commands attention in any space. One hundred and fifty-six seeds — a handcrafted blend of Kenari, Bendo, and Pangi shells — are individually strung on fine wire strands suspended from a solid dark wood header bar, arranged in full, cascading rows — evoking the sweeping, immersive flow of a waterfall at twice the scale. Measuring 20" wide x 17" in length and 2" thick, and weighing approximately 900 grams, this expanded version delivers a fuller, more enveloping presence than its 78-seed counterpart — both visually and sonically. The interplay of three distinct seed varieties creates a complex, textured soundscape — airy and bright from the Kenari, warm and hollow from the Bendo, and deep and grounded from the Pangi — all resonating together as every touch or passing air current sets the entire cascade in motion. A mounting hole in the header allows for easy wall or ceiling installation or for hanging from a stand, and the Thetazen emblem is subtly featured on the bar. As a handmade item, slight variations in seed shape, tone, and arrangement are natural and give each piece its own character.

Each of the three seeds carries its own origin story rooted in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia and the Pacific. The Kenari, harvested from the Canarium tree across Indonesia and the Pacific Islands, contributes a soft, flowing brightness. The Bendo, from the Artocarpus elasticus tree native to Java, Borneo, and Malaysia, adds a warm, hollow clarity. The Pangi, hand-harvested from wild Pangium edule trees across the Indonesian archipelago and Papua New Guinea, brings a deep, earthy resonance that anchors the entire blend. Together, they represent a lineage of natural percussion instruments that have accompanied dance, ceremony, and ritual across the region for generations. The Waterfall Mixed 156 continues this tradition in its most expansive form yet — one designed not just to be played, but to inhabit a space, sounding gently with the natural movement of the environment around it.

Whether displayed in a sound therapy studio, meditation space, or entryway, the Cascara Waterfall Mixed Chime 156 Seed brings a living, organic quality to any room — a piece that is as beautiful to look at as it is to listen to.
