Zaphir Chime, 5 Tunings, 3 Colors Each

The Zaphir chime has five tunings, each in three color designs, for 15 choices in all.

Blue Moon (D F A B C E A# C) comes in Burgundy, Turquoise or Ultramarine, Crystalide (G A B D A G B D) in Green, Ice or Smoky Quartz, and Sufi Wind (F A D F A G A D) in Purple, Sand or Sirocco. Sunray (G# B C# E G# E A C#) comes in Aten, Cantaloupe or Yellow, and Twilight (E G B C E G B C) in Blue, Garnet or North Sea.

Each chime rings 8 notes from 8 tuned metal rods. Hang the chime in a music room, a studio or a sitting room.

Activities often associated with creativity, learning, and leisure can also play a meaningful role in cognitive and emotional well-being.

Reading, writing, listening to music, and playing an instrument do more than provide entertainment or creative expression. Research suggests that these activities can help individuals explore, express, understand, and regulate emotional experiences. Music has been associated with emotion-regulation processes and mood management (Peters et al., 2024; Chong et al., 2024), expressive writing has been linked to emotional processing and reflection (Pennebaker, 2018), and reading has been associated with emotional understanding, empathy, and perspective-taking (Rezende & Shigaeff, 2023; Luperini, 2021). These activities also engage cognitive systems involved in language, attention, and memory (Kunert et al., 2015; Maess et al., 2001; Patel, 2003; Yurgil et al., 2020). Musical and linguistic activities draw on shared neural resources for processing structured information, including syntax (Kunert et al., 2015; Maess et al., 2001; Patel, 2003), while music training has been associated with working-memory processes and executive functioning (Yurgil et al., 2020). Reading, writing, and music may support emotional well-being and cognitive development while strengthening communication, memory, attention, emotional understanding, and self-regulation.
