Product Description

Stylish and sophisticated Habitat Chime features some of nature's most endearing creatures. The delicate silver dragonfly follows the wind, playing music as it goes. Tuned to an intriguing ancient pentatonic scale which lifts the spirit and creates a feeling of ease, this Habitats Chime celebrates the variety of nature around us. From butterflies to blue whales, the Earth teems with life. Areas that sustain life are called habitats and each habitat is part of an interconnected system that makes the richness of our life on Earth possible. Dragonflies can fly forward or backward and are equally comfortable in the air, on water and on land, which is why they are a symbol of flexibility and change. Woodstock Chimes are the original, musically-tuned, high-quality wind chimes 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 chime 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 Olympus, a 7th century pentatonic scale that can't be played on a modern piano. Garry and his wife Diane founded Woodstock Percussion, Inc. in 1979 and it remains a family-owned business in New York's Hudson Valley.
