Designed for percussionists, sound designers, educators, and wellness practitioners, it suits both beginners and experienced musicians. It excels in acoustic, folk, and world aesthetics, as well as in "ambient" soundscapes, relaxation sessions, yoga, and any intimate setting seeking a natural and immersive color.

Questions frequently asked
What sound does the Sela Seed Chime Kenari XL produce?
The approximately 36 mm Kenari shells deliver a deep and warm tone, characterized by a rich low-mid range and softened attack. The projection forms a broad sonic veil, reminiscent of water textures or felted wood.
Is the Kenari XL suitable for yoga and relaxation sessions?
Its curtain of seeds mounted on a teak bar allows for creating delicate sound carpets at low volume. This format is appropriate for relaxation sessions, yoga, and ambient soundscapes.
What is the weight of this seed chime?
The listed weight is about 700 g, featuring multiple rows of shells installed on a lightweight and sturdy teak bar.
How is the Kenari XL seed chime played?
It can be played by swinging, brushing, or gentle striking. The matte and slightly porous texture of the shells encourages woody nuances depending on the playing technique. A more assertive movement produces clear and enveloping sound layers.
What is the sonic difference compared to smaller Kenari models?
Thanks to its oversized shells, this model offers greater vibrating mass and a fuller dynamic range than smaller-sized Kenari. The large format enhances warmth and broadens projection.
