Tuned to beautiful melodies and scales from around the world and available in a wide range of styles, songs and sizes, you can choose the Woodstock Chime that speaks to your soul. HOW IT ALL BEGAN. Garry and his wife Diane founded Woodstock Percussion, in 1979 and it remains a family-owned business in New York's Hudson Valley. Grammy award-winning musician Garry Kvistad created the first Woodstock Chime 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 chime 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 wind chimes.

Sing back to the birds with the bell-like tones of Woodstock Percussion's 27-inch Encore Collection Diamond chime. Using the breeze to make music, the chime features a diamond-shaped wind catcher that moves in the air. A circular disk on the same cord taps the hollow musical tubes and makes them ring. Handcrafted and weather-resistant, Woodstock Percussion's chimes are at once stout and elegant. On this instrument, a strong black cord suspends chimes and disks alike, threading through an ashwood support at the top. Each wooden piece is finished with an attractive beveled edge and a rich mahogany stain. This silver chime is tuned to an ancient pentatonic scale. 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. --Emily Bedard
