Materials & Construction

High quality materials, exacting tolerances and methodical assembly protocols ensure lasting quality and beauty.

• Tough synthetic cordage is highly resistant to abrasion, ultra-violet degradation, rot and mildew. Central tube suspension with smoothly polished tube ends prevent cord abrasion typical of other, less labor-intensive suspension techniques.
• Heavy gauge polished stainless steel rings provide sturdy support and enduring beauty.
• Our corrosion-protective finish preserves chime's appearance and increases durability in hostile environments (acid rain, salt air).
• We cut and precisely tune each tube by hand using just intonation, except for the whole tone scale, which uses equal temperment.
• Tubes are tuned to A440, standard orchestral pitch, using the latest in technology.
• Solid polyethylene clappers provide superior tonal quality and outdoor durability.
• The windcatcher, of the same finish and material as the tubes, is the ideal size, weight, and shape for optimal chime performance in 8 - 10 mph wind velocity. The corrosion protective finish provides durability in all kinds of outdoor environments (acid rain, salt air, etc.)
• The windcatcher hook assembly provides simple but effective method of varying the chime's activity level.
• The clapper slides on the central cord up into the ring creating a convenient "off-on" feature.
• Windcatchers can also be easily removed to subdue chime activity under blustery conditions.
• A rigorous final inspection ensures that your chime is up to our high standards of acoustic and visual quality.

Chime Tunings

The windchimes are designed in a variety of musical scales so you could choose the one that sings most sweetly to you. The eleven musical scales we make are divisible into two main categories of music which we can simply call the "more familiar" and the "more exotic" sound.

You will find the distinctions between the categories easier to make than the distinctions between windchimes within a category. The "familiar" major scales are quite similar one to the other, while the exotic scales are only somewhat similar one to the other. If you are having trouble deciding what you like, first determine the category that pleases you and focus there. Listen and watch for a tuning that seems to make the lines in your forehead relax more quickly, or one that begins to bring a sense of ease or calm. Let your mind relax and enjoy the process, it's not an intellectual exercise. And besides, there's no wrong answer.
