I purchased this item but haven't had a chance to use it, so it has been stored at home. The paper strip will be shipped rolled up inside the main body, just as it was when purchased. Please rest assured that it will straighten out after being hung for a while. This is a used item, so please only purchase if you understand this. The following is from the product page:↓ A wind chime with a beautiful smooth texture and a slightly mature impression with its soft roundness. This shape is the standard slim type. The gold color, which further enhances its elegant appearance, is very attractive. Gold is the natural color of the material. Watching it sway in the sun makes one feel somehow graceful. This wind chime is made of brass and was crafted in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture, a region renowned for its crafts. Each one is handcrafted by artisans and made with care. Its sophisticated design showcases high manufacturing technology. The simple design and clean form give it a refined impression. It will match any room, whether Western, Japanese, or modern. It's also nice to enjoy it as a piece of interior decor. The attention to detail isn't limited to the design. The sound produced by this wind chime resonates far and rings out finely with every gust of wind. It's not a metallic "keen" sound, but a clear, calm tone unique to brass. This "slim" model has the best balanced tone among Nousaku's other wind chimes, "Onion" and "Horn," with a lower pitch than "Onion" and slightly higher than "Horn," allowing you to enjoy its resonance.
