Woodstock Chimes Gregorian Chimes® - Soprano Woodstock Chimes Gregorian Soprano This is a rare, unused deadstock item from the time when they were handcrafted in the Hudson Valley, New York, before the current mass-produced models were made in China. It is marked "Made in the USA." The copyright is from 1992. The original warranty card is also included. Although there is some slight clouding on the tubes, likely due to aging, it is generally in beautiful condition as it has been stored unused. Since the transition to Chinese production, many imitations have appeared, and it is rare to find a US-made, unused condition one. The sound is vastly different from the current mass-produced models, and it resonates beautifully. After the transition to Chinese production, the price became more affordable, but even then, during a time when the yen was stronger than it is now, these handcrafted USA-made soprano chimes cost around 20,000 yen. The box, wrapping paper, and cards show discoloration and damage due to aging. For those who understand its rarity, as well as its value as a vintage instrument. Please understand that this is a deadstock item before purchasing. ▼Using 8 tones, it is tuned to evoke the medieval Dorian mode of Gregorian chant. The sound allows you to immerse yourself in a peaceful and contemplative atmosphere through religious meditation. ▼WOODSTOCK was founded in 1979 by Garry Kvistad, a music professor and world-renowned percussionist. The chimes were later introduced in orchestras and various music scenes, and were recognized as the world's most wonderful chimes. The tubes are precisely tuned, captivating people with their perfect harmony and resonance. ▼Materials 8 silver aluminum tubes Natural cherry wood ▼Size Approximately 45 cm from the top of the hanging string to the bottom of the windcatcher Woodstock Woodstock Chimes Wind Chimes Made in USA Handcraft Wind Chimes Deadstock Vintage Amazing Grace Cherry Healing Koshy Chimes Yoga Mindfulness Tingsha Singing Bell Ethnic Instruments Handmade Wind Chimes Doorbell Door Chimes
