Woodstock Chimes SSS Seashore Chime, Scallop
Tuned to a Balinese scale, this chime evokes island living at its best. This coastal-themed chime is tuned to a traditional Balinese scale from the exotic instruments of the Indonesian gamelan orchestra. The beauty of the scallop shell has become a familiar design inspiration. The vast wonders of sea life would not be complete without this distinctively-shaped creature. Add this treasure to your home or garden and enjoy the sights and sounds of the beach all year long. This chime carries a lifetime tuning guarantee. In 1979, Grammy Award-winning musician and 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 and tuned 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 best selling, musically-tuned windchimes. Garry and 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.
