Hang a chime in your garden and let its gentle sound take you to
a state of complete relaxation. Just a light breeze of wind will
elicit the most beautiful sounds from our sound games. Let yourself
be enchanted by the music of the wind. Let the sounds play with the
wind.
In 1979 the musician and instrument maker Garry Kvistad founded
the company Woodstock Percussion to produce the best wind chimes in
the world. He succeeded in doing so. To this day, he continues to
design his high-quality, musically tuned Woodstock wind chimes and
provides finely tuned melodies. His chimes are world famous for the
precise musical mood and beauty of their sound. They are
weatherproof and made with high quality materials. Even a light
breeze is enough to lure out their melodies.
The ideal place for your wind chimes
To enjoy the beautiful sound of the wind chime, a light breeze
is enough. If you want to hear the sound more often, you should
hang it up where the wind can reach your sound chime from several
sides. For example, an open corner of a building is ideal. Also try
different heights, because the wind increases in height. In any
case, avoid hanging your wind chime too close to a wall or plants,
because the wind will be shielded from it. Also keep in mind that
the wind varies according to the seasons. Hang your wind chimes in
summer with less wind than in autumn and winter.
Which chimes for whom?
Basically, the length and diameter of the sound tube determines
the height of the sound. The longer and wider the tube, the deeper
the sound. So if you prefer deep, soothing sounds, you should get
yourself a large sound-game with wide tubes. Small wind chimes with
short, narrow sound tubes are ideal for those who like fine
melodies in higher pitches.
If you want to strengthen your chakra, you should take a closer
look at the Chakra wind chimes. Here the beautiful sounds are
combined with the energy of the gems that are assigned to the 7
chakras.
Feng Shui and wind chimes
Feng Shui literally means "wind and water" and describes
thousands of years of knowledge about the effects of nature on us
humans. In Feng Shui, sound is an important means of creating
harmony with our environment and drawing strength from it. In
ancient Asia, wind chimes with metal sound tubes were hung in front
of the entrance door to prevent bad chi. Today, wind chimes in Feng
Shui are used in our country to activate an area of life ("bagua")
or to energize a room with their sound.
Tips for your wind chime
Basically every part of the Woodstock wind chime is
weatherproof. Over time, however, these protective layers can be
removed. To enjoy your Woodstock chime for many years, you
should hang it up in a protected place without direct sunlight. In
very bad weather or in winter you should hang it up indoors, e.g.
in the winter garden. For optimal sound, the chimes should not
be hung directly on the hook. They sound better if they can react
more flexibly to the wind and are extended by a piece of
string.
For a long life span it is recommended to clean the wind chimes
regularly with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. The Woodstock
wind chimes are designed to harmonize with each other. Experiment
with several wind chimes and create your own personal sound
environment.
