Your cart is empty.Immerse yourself in the peaceful patterns of gregorian chant with this classic-style windchime. Tuned to a medieval scale, it echoes the vocal music of the gothic era sung to accompany meditation in the churches of europe since the late 8th century. The sound produced by the 8 precision-tuned tubes is soothing, uplifting, and incredibly rich. One of a series of 5 differently sized windchimes tuned to the same scale, the gregorian alto chime harmonizes beautifully with the other gregorian chimes. Imagine the sound of all 5 gregorian chimes hung outdoors and sounding together with their rich melodies. Woodstock chimes are the original, musically-tuned, high-quality windchimes known worldwide for their superior sound. When listening to a woodstock chime, you hear a fine musical instrument played by the wind, perfectly hand-tuned using the ancient system of "just intonation" based on natural harmonics. This means the frequencies at which the different tubes vibrate are related to one another by simple whole-number ratios. Tones that are related in this way produce the most beautiful musical intervals. The sonic effect is exceptionally pure and soothing. More than 30 years ago, the first woodstock chime was created by founder and owner garry kvistad from an aluminum lawn chair he found in a landfill. As a professional musician and instrument designer, he was fascinated by the scales of olympos, a 7th century pentatonic scale that can't be played on a modern piano. Garry had the idea to cut and tune the lawn chair tubes to the exact frequency of the ancient scale. The resulting chimes of olympos was the first woodstock chime and is still one of our bestselling windchimes. Garry and his wife diane founded woodstock percussion, inc. In 1979 and it remains a family-owned business in new york's hudson valley.

We bought these chimes as a gift for Swiss/French friends who live in southern France. They're so happy with them, it reminds them of the cows in Switzerland!

Other reviewers made me hesitate as some reported these chimes as being too big or too noisy. They are neither. These chimes make a delicate, melodious sound and fit perfectly from a hook we used previously for a hanging basket. My only concern is that the wood will damage quickly in our rainy climate.

I received a set of these chimes approximately 2 years age (May 14/, 2015 as a Mothers' Day gift. I particularly enjoy the Gregorian Alto sound andthese did not disappoint me in that regard! However, after using outdoors for one summer season ( 5 months) the rounded wooden top piece warped and discoloured.. I always bring the wind bells indoors over the fall/winter/spring seasons, clean, weatherproof and store them in the original box until the following summer. This year ( the 3rd season of use) some of the strings have separated from the top wooden piece causing the metal tubes to clatter together. They are definitely not nice to look at, or listen to any more! And as I am not interested in the option of purchasing a repair kit, or attempting repairs myself I'll will dispose of these and buy a new set from ANOTHER SOURCE. Interestingly I have owned there set of identical chimes in the past which I purchased through LL Bean in the USA (made in the USA). Each wind bell set lasted well into 8 seasons without any of the issues I experienced with this particular wind bells. These are definitely not the same quality and the accompanying literature and registration indicate they are foreign made.

Conoscevo già la marca per aver acquistato un prodotto simile nel 1996 a Baltimora che è durato all'aperto per 20 anni prima che si rompessero i fili che lo tengono insieme. Si possono comunque sostituire e dopo una lucidata al legno e alle canne è come nuovo.... Suono stupendo. Se si compra una chimes, la marca non può che essere questa.

At last I have found a beautiful chime in india. Usually the chimes available here are small tinny affairs. This one has a delicate yet full tone. I have ordered the soprano and the tenor as well!!

I love my Woodstock Windchimes. I wanted them for Christmas and I did not get them. I wanted them for Mother's Day and did not get them. So I bought them myself a few days after Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day to me.

Very happy with these chimes. The tone is beautiful and it looks good too. You don't need a windstorm to make it chime.
