The Aureole Tunes collection from Nature's Melody do not have any 
wooden components.  The 6 hollow, black alloy chimes are suspended 
from a silver metal hoop which has a textured finish, as does the generously 
sized wind catcher.
		
				
		
		The tubes are suspended on black nylon cord which is attached to a
 small metal rod welded horizontally inside each tube.  This method 
allows the tubes to resonate for longer than traditionally strung 
chimes, where the cord passes through a pair of holes drilled into the 
tube.
		
				
		
		The striker is of black plastic and has a small toggle on the 
underside which allows the striker to be pushed up the cord beyond the 
tubes (a "mute" button).
		
				
		
		This item is boxed.
