Woodstock Gregorian Tenor & Alto Wind Chime Set

Description

Let your stress take flight on the wings of angels as you listen to the Woodstock Gregorian Tenor and Alto Wind Chime Set. Tuned to a medieval scale, these resonant chimes echo the vocal music of the Gothic era, sung to accompany meditation in the churches of Europe since the late 8th century. Both chimes are tuned to C, D, E flat, F, G, A, B flat, and C, in their respective registers. The sound of the tenor seems to be inspired by the calming tranquility and reverence of centuries-old spiritual chanting. In the Alto register, this chime helps you relax and be amazed at nature's glory all at once. Exceptionally rich sound is provided by the 16 tubes as each chime harmonizes with the others.

Woodstock Percussion Wind Chimes are tuned using a computerized tuning process in order to achieve incomparably beautiful sound. These wind chimes also use a unique tuning system known as "just intonation." The frequencies at which the different tubes vibrate are integrally related, thus producing the purest musical intervals. Once you hear the beautiful tones created by these magical chimes, you will understand why they are so popular around the world.
Wind Chime Length: The length of a wind chime is measured by the overall length of the chime (not tube length)- hanging hook to the end of the sail. The tenor windchime is 29 inches long overall. The alto winchime is 41 inches long overall.

Care

Every part of a Woodstock Chime is weather protected. Over time, however, those layers of protection can begin to wear. To enjoy your Woodstock Chimes for years to come, we suggest the following simple maintenance tips. Periodically, apply a thin layer of Danish or lemon oil with a clean cloth to the hardwood parts. Regular oiling will help protect the wood and retard the natural aging process. The tubes of traditional Woodstock Chimes are made of anodized aluminum that will not rust when exposed to the elements. However, over time, the aluminum may show pitting as a result of environmental factors. Please note this will not affect the beautiful tones of your chimes. Use mild soap and water (or a foaming, non-abrasive cleanser) to clean the tubes, glass or plastic parts. Try not to dampen the string.
