Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The sounds of nature are sweet, but the music of chirping birds, chattering squirrels, and rustling leaves is even sweeter when accompanied by Woodstock's Gregorian soprano computer-tuned wind chimes. These silver chimes play medieval soprano notes inspired by the Gregorian chants of Europe. Company founder Garry Kvistad has developed an advanced method of tuning used on every Woodstock chime: each tube is analyzed digitally with a microphone under the tube measuring the frequency, and cutters are instructed to remove just the right amount of material to produce the most precise tuning possible. The result is a purer, more harmonious sound. All Woodstock wind chimes are made in the USA from nonendangered hardwoods treated to endure season after season of outdoor use. Woodstock prides itself on being a socially responsible company, explaining that "through the sale of our chimes we proudly support the arts, as well as many environmental and humanitarian causes." Add a hint of Gregorian mystery to your yard or garden while contributing to the harmony of the earth. --Ariel Meadow Stallings

Create a cathedral of sound with the Gregorian chime. Tuned to a medieval scale in soprano, this chime echoes the vocal music of the gothic era. The tranquility of this ancient music is perfectly suited for the random movement of a windchime. Made of c

3.0 out of 5 stars Made in China, not USA, December 26, 2004

By	"T" in Cordova (Sacramento, CA) - See all my reviews

The wind chime looks and sounds fine. However, I chose this wind chime brand because it was advertised as "handcrafted in the USA" from "non-endangered North American hardwoods." However, the box clearly states "Made in China." I was very disappointed with this misrepresentation in the Amazon listing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Sound, Not at All Annoying, January 21, 2006

By	J. H. Sweet - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I mainly use windchimes as a feng shui cure, but have always had problems with the clanging sounds keeping me awake at night and distracting/annoying me during the day. Woodstock's Gregorian Soprano Chimes are the most pleasant and soft-sounding chimes I have ever heard, and are of a tone consistent with the soothing sounds of nature. They do not disturb at all, and I have to actually listen for them to realize that are singing because they are so gentle sounding. I have several outside my home and one in an interior hallway. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ear Delicious, August 13, 2005

By	C. Z. Shanks - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This wind chime produces the clearest, most pure tones I have ever heard from a wind chime. I bought mine about 10 years ago and hung it on my patio. Since then, I have purchased it many times as gifts for family and friends who've heard mine and admired it. If exceptional sound quality is what you are looking for in a windchime, you will love this one! I highly reccommend it.
