Woodstock Chimes Signature Collection, Precious Stones Chime, 12'' Prairie Jasper Décor Designs - Small Chimes Wind Chimes for Outdoor, Patio, Home or Garden Décor (PSPJ);

Prairie Jasper is an earthy stone said to warm the soul and clear the mind. Precious Stone chimes are a series of small, charming chimes designed using colorful and natural accents. Combining popular bronze chimes with stylish touches of genuine stone, prized for their roles as talismans of good luck and other spiritual beliefs, these petite windchimes are real beauties with significant meaning. Being a stone whose design depends on the whims of nature, the genuine prairie jasper will vary in appearance from chime to chime. Woodstock Chimes are the original, musically-tuned, high-quality wind chimes known worldwide for their superior sound. When listening to a Woodstock Chime, you hear a fine musical instrument played by the wind, perfectly hand-tuned using the ancient system of "just intonation" based on natural harmonics. This means the frequencies at which the different chime tubes vibrate are related to one another by simple whole-number ratios. Tones that are related in this way produce the most beautiful musical intervals. The sonic effect is exceptionally pure and soothing. More than 30 years ago, the first Woodstock Chime was created by founder and owner Garry Kvistad 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 and his wife Diane founded Woodstock Percussion, Inc. in 1979 and it remains a family-owned business in New York's Hudson Valley.
