Product Description Smaller than the "queen", this rose-colored chime adds drama to the garden. These wind chimes are tuned to the Aeolian Mode, one of the most romantic modes of music heard during the English Tudor Renaissance of the 16th century. Many of the songs of those days madrigals, airs and ballads, as well as folk songs used a modal scale. This period was rich with music played by the minstrels in the street as well as the nobility in the Court even King Henry VIII was an accomplished composer. The Tudor Rose was the emblem adopted by the Tudor family and one is silk-screened on this windchime's windcatcher. Let the wind be your troubadour and serenade you with the enchanting sounds of the Tudor Rose Chimes. 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. 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 Tudor Rose computer-tuned wind chimes. These bronze-finished aluminum chimes play the romantic notes of the Aeolian mode, recalling the Tudor era of England. 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 romance to your yard or garden while contributing to the harmony of the earth. --Ariel Meadow Stallings
