A beautifully crafted jempinis wood turtle, with a shell of natural coconut, swims gracefully beneath stainless steel tines in this gorgeous kalimba, or thumb piano, by Balinese artisan Trisna Dewi. Traditionally a musical instrument from Africa, this plucked idiophone produces a hollow tone when the tines are strummed. The word kalimba is a Bantu word which means "little music".

"Wind chimes"
I just received this today and one of the tubular bars was broken off and I had to restring it with regular thread. Not happy about that.

"Melodic Dance wind chimes"
I made this purchase for myself. I love the carvings on the bamboo, the chimes are equally placed. The chimes make a faint tinkling, Ive hung it over my kitchen sink window so I can look at the beauty and sound always. It was wrapped in many pieces of paper as to keep it safe without harm to it. It came with a note on a card with a photo of a glimpse of a unique destination in Indonesia. This artist is an expert with this design. Do yourself a favor and check out her wind chimes, youll be happy with any purchase you make.

"Bamboo mini wind chimes"
This is another birthday gift for my BFF this year. Since it came gift wrapped I didnt actually see it. My BFF loved it, she was planning on hanging it in front of a window so the chimes could be heard. The gift wrapping is free, the design of the wrapping is unique with a removable design. As with all of my purchases over the last couple of years, the quality and designs are superb . The special touch to all purchases is a little card with a note from the seller on a small card displaying a beautiful location in the country of origin. Every thing with Novica is created to bring happiness. All of your purchases help the designers it gives them a way to support their families.
