5. Product Description
The Tudor period in England’s history was rich with music, from the minstrels in the street to the nobility in the
Court. Even King Henry VIII was an accomplished composer. Many of the songs of those days – madrigals, Ayres
and ballads, as well as folk songs – were modal. This chime is tuned to the Aeolian Mode, one of the most
popular for romantic music during the period. Let the wind be your troubadour and serenade you with the
beguiling sounds of the Tudor Rose Windchimes.
Woodstock Chimes are the original, musically-tuned, high-quality windchimes known worldwide for their
superior sound. When listening to a Woodstock Chime, you hear a fine musical instrument played by the wind,
perfectly hand-tuned using the ancient system of “just intonation” based on natural harmonics. This means the
frequencies at which the different tubes vibrate are related to one another by simple whole-number ratios.
Tones that are related in this way produce the most beautiful musical intervals. The sonic effect is exceptionally
pure and soothing.
More than 30 years ago, the first Woodstock Chime was created by founder and owner Garry Kvistad from an
aluminum lawn chair he found in a landfill. As a professional musician and instrument designer, he was
fascinated by the Scales of Olympos, a 7th century pentatonic scale that can’t be played on a modern piano.
Garry had the idea to cut and tune the lawn chair tubes to the exact frequency of the ancient scale. The
resulting Chimes of Olympos was the first Woodstock Chime and is still one of our bestselling windchimes.
Garry and his wife Diane founded Woodstock Percussion, Inc. in 1979 and it remains a family-owned business in
New York’s Hudson Valley. Read more
Product Description
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 Tudor Rose computer-tuned wind chimes. These bronze-finished
aluminum chimes play the romantic notes of the Aeolian mode, recalling the Tudor era of England. 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 romance to your yard or garden while
contributing to the harmony of the earth. --Ariel Meadow Stallings Read more
