I spent quite a bit of time looking at various options of Rain Columns/ Pillars and am not disappointed with my final choice . I wanted it to be gentle and be in the background rather than too loud for during my Sound Baths, the only thing that initially put me off was it doesn't last as long as some others not much dearer. I just find now that if I want it to last longer I just gently turn it upside down and continue the sounds, fab product and love the finish of the wood.
