Know before you buy
Bronze is a dense, high-quality alloy that produces a deeper, more resonant, and longer-lasting tone than lighter metals like aluminum. Because of its weight and composition, this bell creates a rich, full-bodied sound that carries well in outdoor spaces.
While the bronze construction is durable, the bell is substantial and designed for moderate breeze activation. In extremely high-wind environments, you may want to hang it in a slightly sheltered area to prevent excessive movement and ensure the sound remains melodic rather than chaotic.
No, each Cosanti windbell is a unique, made-to-order creation. You can expect slight variations in the finish and form, which are intentional characteristics of the artisanal casting process.
The overall height of the windbell is 41.5 inches from the top of the hanging mechanism to the bottom of the wind catcher. Be sure to account for this length when selecting your mounting location to ensure the wind catcher has enough clearance to move freely.
Yes, as a natural metal, the bronze will develop a unique patina when exposed to the elements. This weathering process is a natural evolution of the material and will add character to the bell over the years.
