The tuned bamboo chimes play melodious notes each time the wind blows, while the realistic wood bass swims about on top. The mellow musical sound soothes your body and mind, making you feel one with nature and bringing a sense of tranquility to your surroundings.   Made from bamboo, one of the fastest-growing natural, renewable resources, this weather-resistant chime features a hand-painted bass, hand-carved from non-endangered wood. The bamboo pieces are hand-sanded to a smooth, silky finish and multiple layers of weather-resistant varnish are applied to achieve a hard, glossy finish. This process imparts a uniquely elegant look, reflecting the natural textures of bamboo in an attractive spiral pattern. Each of the five bamboo tubes, hung from durable nylon cord, is individually hand-carved and hand-tuned by craftsmen in Bali.

To avoid large cracks and fading, do not hang in direct sunlight or near heaters. The chime should be brought indoors in severely cold winter weather. To clean, simply wipe with a damp cloth.   Hanging your Chimes for the Best Musical Performance Asli Arts by Woodstock chimes are known the world over for the purity and beauty of their sound. These chimes are designed to produce beautiful music from even the slightest breeze, but if you’d like to hear yours more often, here are a few ideas:   Hang your chime directly from the O ring or loop at the top of the chime. Don’t extend the top string of the chime by adding chain or string. This may cause the entire chime to swing, when in fact only the center string and clapper should move. Hang your chime where the wind can reach it from as many directions as possible.

Product Description

This wind chime produces the soulful sounds common to many traditional Irish airs. Ever since the first bardic poem was set to music, the Celtic people have woven the story of their lives into a rich musical legacy of matchless beauty. For hundreds of years these songs and melodies were preserved only in human memory, and so it is believed that many have been forever lost. We hope that in the random patterns played by this instrument of the wind, you may hear a familiar Irish tune or rediscover one that has long been forgotten.

These Woodstock Celtic chimes produce the soulful sounds of many traditional Irish airs. A smoothed piece of agate, printed with a gold Celtic knot, hangs from the chimes and spins in the wind. Company founder Garry Kvistad has developed an advanced, sophisticated method of tuning used on every Woodstock chime: each tube is analyzed digitally with a microphone under the tube measuring the frequency, and cutters are instructed to remove just the right amount of material to produce the most precise tuning possible. The result is a purer, more harmonious sound. All Woodstock chimes are made in the USA from nonendangered hardwoods treated to endure season after season of outdoor use, and Woodstock prides itself on being a socially responsible company, explaining that “through the sale of our chimes we proudly support the arts, as well as many environmental and humanitarian causes.” Add a hint of mysterious Celtic harmony to your yard or garden while contributing to the harmony of the earth.

Woodstock Temple Bells are inspired by ancient bells and work in harmony with the wind to create gentle, soothing tones. Bells have been used throughout the ages to accompany dance, provide comfort and warn of possible danger. The Chinese were the first to control the pitch or note of a bell, making it possible for them to play tunes. On New Year’s Eve the bells in Buddhist temples are rung 108 times, once for each of the worldly desires. In the East bells are very important and are often decorated with significant symbols. Tuned bells are suspended in homes and temples to ward off evil and attract good luck and prosperity. Hang these beautiful bells throughout your home and garden to enjoy the comfort they provide.Over 30 years ago, Grammy award-winning musician and instrument designer Garry Kvistad created the first Woodstock Chime from an aluminum lawn chair he found in a landfill. Fascinated by the Scale of Olympos, a 7th century pentatonic scale that can’t be played on a modern piano, Garry cut and tuned 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 best selling, musically-tuned windchimes. Garry and his wife Diane founded Woodstock Chimes in 1979 and still develop the chimes today. It remains a family-owned business in New York’s Hudson Valley.

The Woodstock Equestrian Spirit Chime pays tribute to man’s love for horses. Humans began to domesticate horses around 4000 BC. Today we interact with horses in a number of ways: riding them for entertainment, using them as therapy animals, as farm workers, and, of course, racing them for sport. This chime is precision-tuned to the opening notes of the familiar bugle call that signals the start of a horse race, and the silhouetted rearing horse on the wind catcher is made of flamed-finish stainless steel, giving it the burnished color of a bay horse.

This chime plays the familiar tones heard in the opening measures of Amazing Grace, one of America’s best loved hymns. The lyrics were written by Englishman John Newton in the late 18th century. As a young man on board a merchant ship, Newton underwent a spiritual awakening while caught in a deadly storm at sea. This was the beginning of a journey that would lead the one-time slave trader to become a vocal abolitionist, and transform a man without conviction into one of unshakable faith. It has played an important role in drug and alcohol recovery, the Civil War, the Civil Rights Movement and 9/11. Newton’s message of hope and redemption from over 200 years ago resonates with the same power today in our Amazing Grace Chime. ‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. – John Newton Over 30 years ago, Grammy award-winning musician and instrument designer Garry Kvistad created the first Woodstock Chime from an aluminum lawn chair he found in a landfill.
