About bamboo

Bamboo is one hundred percent naturally grown, without the use of pesticides or fertilizers. It is one of the fastest growing plants in the world, reaching maturity within three to four years. It spreads rapidly, and is known to support soil quality and stability. Bamboo can also grow on hillsides where no other plants can.

Bali has many bamboo forests, and there are several organizations promoting this beautiful plant. Whole villages are being built entirely of bamboo products, and it is being promoted as the future for environmental sustainability.

Bamboo is a very strong and flexible plant, and can be used to make a variety of products. Weapons, utensils and musical instruments are all made of this amazing plant. Some Indonesian food is cooked inside a bamboo shoot, providing a particular flavor that is very popular.

Anything that is not used in creating bamboo products is given to the animals as food, so not a single part of the bamboo plant goes to waste.

Bamboo musical instruments

Bamboo provides an excellent base for creating bamboo musical instruments. The noise resonates around the inside of a bamboo shoot, and results in a wonderfully rich sound. There are various choices of instrument, but the most popular pieces include wind chimes, rain sticks, xylophones, drums and flutes.

Each piece of bamboo to be used for a wind chime or xylophone is tuned by hand to just the right pitch. Unlike metal versions that have a ringing sound, bamboo products have a denser, more musical sound. Several pieces of bamboo are attached to each other in a pattern to create multiple resonant tones.

The bamboo flute is an instrument that is used in Balinese music, and it has a very whimsical sound, that resonates over the rice fields. Bringing one home and playing it will bring back fond memories of being in Bali.

There is something that is so relaxing and peaceful about the sound of bamboo wind chimes. These outdoor ornamental items are handmade Bali products by artisans that have often practiced the craft for generations. The specific material used to create them may include traditional material like bamboo, wood or it can also include other metals as well.

Wind Chimes

The styles of bamboo wind chimes produced on the island have changed with the demand. Many are sold as Feng Shui chimes and may include specific combinations of chimes in patterns. The result is a melodious, soothing sound that is not metallic or jarring.

Of course like all chimes, wind power is needed to create the sound. Placing the chimes in specific areas of the yard or garden will allow you to create areas of relaxation. Due to the placement of the individual chime, wind movement will cause chimes to create sound as they bump against one another. Picking your location can maximize this effect.

Making bamboo wind chimes

Bamboo Bali

Traditional chimes from Bali are made of bamboo. As a fast growing and environmentally friendly wood, bamboo is considered a good sustainable product. Bamboo of different diameters is cut to set lengths. Then, one side of the bamboo is removed to create differences in the sounds.

Each bamboo wind chime is tuned by hand to just the right pitch. Unlike a metal chime that almost rings, bamboo wind chimes have a denser, more musical sound. Different chimes set next to each other in a pattern create multiple resonant tones.

The tops of the chimes may be a horizontal piece of bamboo or half bamboo. In this style, the chime is a rectangular shape. Round shaped chimes often use a half or a full coconut as the focal point on top.

Weather resistant bamboo

Bamboo is a durable natural wood and is very lightweight. This is perfect for easily mounting the chime in any location or in any climate. However, to ensure the chimes last for years, each piece of bamboo needs to be treated. A bamboo chime should be treated with a varnish to resist both insects as well as moisture.

This varnish may be applied after the bamboo is decorated with a stain. Some chime woodworkers may leave the bamboo a natural color with a clear varnish. Slight blemishes or color variations in the wood just add to the uniqueness of each wind chime.

Unique chimes

Some artisans in Bali also produce metal styles of chimes. They are based on traditional patterns but instead of bamboo chimes they use aluminum or other lightweight metals. Wood is still used as the head of the chimes and is often teak.

This style of wind chime is perfect for a larger garden or area. They are highly resistant to any damage even in the harshest outdoor climates.

Other types of unique chimes from Bali include those crafted in the shape of fish or animals. Painting on each individual chime can also create a one of a kind garden art item.

balinese wind chime designs.

A Balinese wind chime comes in various shapes and sizes. The most popular design is tubular. These are made from vertically hanging hollow tubes that vary in size and length. Each size produces its own distinct sound, the shorter they are, the higher the tone.

Bell wind chimes use bells in place of tubes. and these produce a ringing sound. The larger the bell, the deeper the sound. These are mostly made from metal materials.

The bell and the tube designs can be tuned to particular tones so that they produce musical sounds, based on the traditional Balinese note system used on the gamelan instruments.

The Balinese wind chime can be found in various designs, from plain and simple, to brightly painted ones.
