This wind bell is metallic and emits the sound long. It is called the wind bell of

There is the following kinds of metallic wind bells in Japan.

This wind bell is made of Sahari. The Sahari is an alloy that mixed tin with copper. The alloy that is melted to 1300℃ is poured into the sand mold, and the wind bell is made.
Regarding the handmade Odawara Sahari wind bell, the number of production is few, difficult obtaining, and valuables.
Because this wind bell especially includes a lot of tin, the high pitched, long and clear lingering sound brings you comfort.
The sound analysis, the metallic mixing and the heat-treatment, etc. have been researched. And then this wind bell is the one that "Ultimate comfort sound and natural beauty of appearance" has been pursued.
The surface of this wind bell is made as temperature, glaze and flame power react with the metal.
