Hear the musical sounds of the islands and enjoy the craftsmanship of this meticulously crafted bamboo Elephant wind chime.
Handcrafted by artisans in Bali
Bamboo's inherent, natural acoustics entertain and delight in a unique, carefree, calypso type, bamboo rhythm when the wind blows. It is a beautiful, natural sound that is peaceful and relaxing too
The Balinese use bamboo in almost all aspects of their lives, including crafting musical instruments, gracing sacred ceremonies, and adorning and improving their homes. Bamboo chimes were originally made to keep birds out of the rice paddies during the harvest season

The Story Behind the Product
Ketut lives in a mountain village called Sebatu in central Bali. The villages of Bali specialize in just one export: the village specializes in carving wind chime pieces.
Ketut got her name through birth order. In the Bali culture, families name their children in the order in which they are born, male or female. In order of birth, their children are named Wyan, Made (Mahday), Yoman, and Ketut.

Poor workmanship. I would not recommended buying this product. It must have been a return. It came apart in several locations and is missing a section completely. Disappointed.
This is a truly beautiful wind chime. I don't think anyone would be unhappy with this product. I've always wanted a "teak" type wind chime and an elephant with an upturned trunk was impossible to pass up. The size and detail were well worth the reasonable price. I gave this product a five star rating even though one of the pieces was broken when I received it (the piece that supports the trunk). I do not believe this was a case of a defective product; but, a matter of poor packaging inside the shipping box. I believe my damaged package was a "fluke" and that most probably arrive in good condition. I am an artist and also do a lot of crafting, so I used a piece of bamboo I had on hand to repair it. Had I not had these skills, I would have returned it for a new one. I am very please with this purchase and have already received many compliments from my neighbors.
