Wind chime

Description

One of America's best-known and loved hymns, "Amazing Grace" is the inspiration of the Amazing Grace Wind Chime. The famous words of John Newton have given us perspective that allows us to reflect on our lives, and this chime will turn your garden into the perfect place to do just that. 



The sail and clapper are constructed from laminated bamboo for added durability and natural beauty. Tuned to C, F, A, G, F, A. Available in three sizes: small (16 inches), medium (25 inches), and large (40 inches).
Woodstock Percussion Wind Chimes are tuned using a computerized tuning process in order to achieve incomparably beautiful sound. These wind chimes also use a unique tuning system known as "just intonation." The frequencies at which the different tubes vibrate are integrally related, thus producing the purest musical intervals. Once you hear the beautiful tones created by these magical chimes, you will understand why they are so popular around the world.



Wind Chime Length: The length of a wind chime is measured by the overall length of the chime (not tube length) - hanging hook to the end of the sail. These windchimes are 16, 25, and 40 inches long overall.Hanger not included.

From Discarded Lawn Chairs to Carnegie Hall: The History of Woodstock Chimes


A lucky find


A trip to the landfill proved very inspirational for Woodstock Chimes® founder and CEO Garry Kvistad. While teaching at Northern Illinois University in the early 1970s, Kvistad had the opportunity to enroll in a course that taught techniques for making instruments. Not having a budget for his new hobby, he took a trip to the local landfill and hunted for scraps that he could craft into instruments. He discovered a pile of discarded lawn chairs and used their aluminum tubes to create his first metallophone, a percussion instrument similar to a xylophone but made with metal instead of wood.


Cultivated creativity


After playing the metallophone on tour for a while, Kvistad began wondering what other types of instruments he could create, particularly ones more people could play or enjoy regardless of their musical training. In 1979, his fascination with the Scale of Olympos - a 7th century B.C. Greek pentatonic scale modern pianos can't play - prompted him to craft a wind chime out of aluminum lawn chair tubes that could play the notes of that scale. He cut and tuned the tubes to match the exact frequency of the scale. This experiment laid the foundation of the just intonation tuning process he would employ when making wind chimes in the future.


Success that sticks


The Chimes of Olympos® attracted a fair amount of interest when Kvistad exhibited it at the Cincinnati Craft Fair. When friends and acquaintances continued asking for his hand-made wind chimes, professional musician Kvistad shifted his focus from building and tuning percussion instruments for other musicians to making wind chimes out of his home. He continually cleaned out the local hardware store's supply of 1-inch aluminum tubes to respond to the growing demand for these beautiful-sounding chimes.


Appreciation for Kvistad's precision-tuned wind chimes spread, and he was featured on NPR's All Things Considered in early 1980, followed by an appearance on the Today Show in 1983. By the late 1980s, Woodstock Chimes were being sold in all 50 states and distributed internationally. Two custom sets of Woodstock Chimes were commissioned for a special performance by the Boston Symphony Orchestra commemorating the 100th anniversary of Carnegie Hall in 1990. Woodstock Chimes moved into its current 108,000-square-foot facility in Shokan, N.Y., in 1999. What started as a trip to the landfill and a creative experiment had grown into a major success story for the field of music.


Woodstock Chimes today


Today, Woodstock Percussion Wind Chimes are available in over 50 different styles, many of which are tuned to scales or melodies from various musical cultures. Woodstock Chimes are precision-tuned using a sophisticated computerized tuning process in order to achieve supreme tonal quality. The frequencies at which the different tubes vibrate are integrally related, thus producing the purest musical intervals. This unique tuning process sets Woodstock Chimes apart from other wind chimes in the industry and is one reason why Woodstock Chimes continue to be best sellers. From the first Chimes of Olympos, to those made today, Woodstock Chimes ring with a tonal purity you can appreciate the first time you hear them, and every time thereafter.

Care

Every part of a Woodstock Chime is weather protected. Over time, however, those layers of protection can begin to wear. To enjoy your Woodstock Chimes for years to come, we suggest the following simple maintenance tips. Periodically, apply a thin layer of Danish or lemon oil with a clean cloth to the hardwood parts. Regular oiling will help protect the wood and retard the natural aging process. The tubes of traditional Woodstock Chimes are made of anodized aluminum that will not rust when exposed to the elements. However, over time, the aluminum may show pitting as a result of environmental factors. Please note this will not affect the beautiful tones of your chimes. Use mild soap and water (or a foaming, non-abrasive cleanser) to clean the tubes, glass or plastic parts. Try not to dampen the string.

I had purchased the med Woodstock Amazing Grace Wind Chime two weeks before & gave it to a friend that lives next door. She enjoyed it so much I thought she would like the large one even better. Every time I talk to her she mentions how much she loves hearing them. Her comment she uses most often is "I didn't want to come into work today, I wanted to stay home & listen to my Wind chimes." "Amazing Grace" What a wonderful sound those words have for those who believe. What a great name for a wonderful sounding product. It has brought much joy to the hearers of their tones. Thank You

I was disappointed in the size of this chime for the price.I bought 2 of these and gave one to my sister. I have about 8 chimes in my garden of all different sizes, one that I have had for years and it is much bigger and the sound it much nicer and I paid the same price for it. I may try another of your chimes when I need to replace one.

The wind chime is very nice but not quite as sensitive as I had hoped. The wind today has been 10 to 13 mph and I have only heard the chime one time.

      Comments about Woodstock Amazing Grace Wind Chime:

      The tone and quality of the chime are very good. It is attractive as a yard ornament and "Amazing Grace" is one of my favorite hymns.

      My only recommendation is that either the round "clapper" be made larger in diameter or that the chimes be hung closer to the center. Although, I don't know what either of these recommended modifications would do to the already very good tone. Perhaps the clapper needs to move this farther distance in order to hit the chimes with enough force to generate the proper tones? It requires a fairly strong breeze for the round clapper to move enough to strike the hanging chimes.

        Customer Q & A

        Q1: Are the actual chimes (metal tubes) themselves on the large one, longer than the tubes on the medium one? Or is what makes it larger just the hanging equiment?

        A: The tube sizes are bigger on the large design. This is what changes the tone of the notes.

        Q2: What material are the tubes made from to produce the beautiful sounds

        A: The tubes are made of aluminum.

        Q3: I have a large amazing grace and my string broke and I lost the clapper. Can I get another?

        A: I'm sorry, we do not repair or sell wind chime replacement parts.
