Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Tibetan monks signal the beginning and end of a meditation period with small cymbals. This chime can be used for the same purpose. The two polished aluminum rods are precision tuned to almost, but not quite, the same pitch. When struck simultaneously, the rods begin ringing with a pulsating beat, which helps heighten and focus awareness. The rods are fastened to a smooth, cherry-finished hardwood base that measures 7-1/2 inches long, small enough to keep on a meditation table or by the bed. A rubber-tipped mallet and listening exercises are included. Musician Gary Kvistad founded Woodstock Chimes in 1979, and today the family-owned company produces a wide range of handcrafted, precision-tuned chimes. A one-year warranty covers the chime against defects, and all tuned Woodstock Chimes come with a lifetime tuning guarantee. --Ann Bieri

Product Description

Two rods, tuned to almost the same pitch, produce a fascinating pulse known as "beating". Can be used as an aid to meditation and heightening sensory awareness.

4.0 out of 5 stars strange tones, not unpleasant, just odd, December 20, 2008

I have one of the smaller, single-"bell" units and like the tone it produces, clear, ringing, with LOTS of resonances; this two-"bell" unit is much more complex in the tone(s) it produces. When both "bells" are struck, I can "feel the beats" between the tones generated, which are slightly offset. The resulting mixed sound is extremely complex compared to the single unit, and has an "Oriental" overcast to the tones as they mix. If you're a "pure western music" "trained ear", you might find this a little unsettling at first, since there doesn't seem to me to be a "normal diatonic" relationship between the primary tones, but rather an "Oriental" relationship. If you're looking for an "Oriental-ish" sound, this little unit should be considered.

Yes they are the same tone as one reviewer stated, however I like that as it provides an effect that is soothing. It is nice to start or end a meditation session with it. Good craftsman ship. Don't expect to play a tune on it though.
