Description

Create a balance of natural energies in your home with the Woodstock Feng Shui Energy Wind Chime. Five silver tubes are suspended from cherry finished high-quality wood. The goal of Feng Shui is to achieve balance and prosperity in our lives. These energies must be balanced and in harmony so that our environment can support us instead of becoming a hindrance. The Woodstock Feng Shui Energy Chime can be the first step in this direction. This soothing Energy chime is tuned to A, A, A, C#, A flat.

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); measures from the hanging hook to the end of the sail. This windchime is 15 inches overall.

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 have purchased 2 of these windchimes as Christmas gifts. The packaging is nice and the overall website description describes the product perfectly. I took them out of the box to hear the tone and it's a very pretty sounding chime. I went to the actual product website where they have an audio button to hear the chime's sound. As it is the dead of winter here, tons of snow, and they are Christmas gifts...I will not know how they hold up outside or how much wind is needed to make them chime. Hence only the 4 star review.

          This wind chime has gone beyond my expectations, even though it's small I can hear it very often even if I not close to it and get delighted with it's sound. It is in my front yard hanging from a hook, very sensitive to breeze.
