Chimes of Kyoto

Tuned to an ancient Japanese scale found on early zither instruments.

This graceful and soft-sounding chime is named for the Chion-in Buddhist temple in Kyoto, which houses one of the largest ringing bells in the world. Sixteen priests are needed to swing the clapper to sound the 74-ton bell!
