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.

I am very happy with my wind chime. It was made well, and is a decent size. It doesn't make much noise, but that's okay with me. I wanted it for decoration. If you are wanting to hear the classic wind chime sound, this product isn't for you. It has more of a low, hollow sound because of the bamboo it's made from. It must be made pretty well, because it survived a storm that took out our neighbor's huge maple tree. Pretty impressive.

I bought this for my mother's birthday and she loves it! The glue on the construction was a little poorly done, but overall this was a great buy!

Small Birdhouse and Chime

I ordered this product for my mother's birthday. It's really cute. Yes, a small bird can use the birdhouse. The only issue I had was how the product was packaged for delivery. I feel lucky that the product wasn't ruined while in route to me. Besides that I would recommend this birdhouse wind chime.
