Product Description Tuned to the notes of Chicago's boogie-woogie blues walking bass line. This wind chime is tuned to the musical note pattern first made famous by blues artists in the 1920S. The boogie-woogie style, heard in the five notes of our Chicago blues chime, is the most enduring element of the blues & has influenced such diverse performers as Tommy Dorsey, muddy waters & countless jazz & rock musicians. Singin' The Blues is usually about a heartfelt expression of one's troubles with the aim of feeling better. Whether you sing along with our Woodstock Chicago blues chime or let it sing for you, This heart-warming wind chime will get you outta the Blues. In 1979, grammy award-winning musician & instrument designer garry kvistad created the first Woodstock Chime from an aluminum lawn chair he found in a landfill. Fascinated by the scale of Olympos, a 7th century pentatonic scale that can't be played on a modern piano, Garry cut & tuned The lawn chair tubes to the exact frequency of the ancient scale. The resulting Chimes of Olympos was the first Woodstock Chime & is still one of our best selling, musically-tuned wind chimes. Garry & his wife Diane still develop the chimes today as part of their family-owned business in New York's Hudson Valley. Woodstock Chimes - the world's favorite windchime. Amazon.com 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 Chicago Blues computer-tuned wind chimes. These chimes play the notes of the walking bass line inspired by Chicago's boogie-woogie blues, as a tribute to the Windy City's distinct blues style and the generations of musicians it inspired. 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 Chicago blues to your yard or garden while contributing to the harmony of the earth.
