Description
MUSICALLY TUNED HEROIC WINDBELL, LARGE - ANTIQUE SILVER. This windbell is toned to unite two important ways the instrument vibrates. One is the sound of the bell itself and the other is the hollow chamber inside the bell that acts like an organ pipe. The slots on the sides of the bell are the secret to this unique coupling. The result is a rich sound with much depth and beauty. Measuring 40-inches in overall length (total hanging length is measured from top of O-ring to bottom of windcatcher), 6-inch diameter; antique silver steel bell and an aluminum windcatcher coated with a handsome, durable finish, so you can enjoy it for years to come; black ash wood clapper.WOODSTOCK CHIMES THE ORIGINAL MUSICALLY TUNED CHIME. In 1979, the first Woodstock Chime was created by Grammy award-winning musician 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 Olympus, 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 chime tubes to the exact frequency of the ancient scale. The resulting Chimes of Olympus was the first Woodstock Chimes Wind Chimes and is still one of our bestselling wind chimes. Garry and his wife Diane founded Woodstock Chimes in 1979 and it remains based in New York's Hudson Valley.
