Product Description
Warm and tender. The tenor chime offers beautiful, soothing tones. Tuned to a medieval scale, our Gregorian Chimes echo the vocal music of the gothic era, sung to accompany meditation in the churches of Europe since the late 8th century. Each chime has eight tubes for an exceptionally rich sound, and each one harmonizes with the others, so they sound absolutely wonderful together! Our most popular chime series. 41'' tall Tenor chime with 8 anodized aluminum tubes.

Amazon.com Review
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 Gregorian tenor computer-tuned wind chimes. These silver chimes play medieval tenor notes inspired by the Gregorian chants of Europe. 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 Gregorian mystery to your yard or garden while contributing to the harmony of the earth. --Ariel Meadow Stallings

5 out of 5 stars music to my ears   March 23, 2008

We absolutely love our chimes. Living in LA, we usually experience only a slight breeze, which is actually sufficient to play these beautifully balance chimes. Their tone is deep and soothing. I highly recommend them.


3 out of 5 stars A Little Disappointed   August 27, 2007
I LOVE the SOUND of these chimes! They are tuned beautifully. And the wooden parts are "finished" very nicely. However, the strings holding everything together don't seem very strong. And the 1 1/2" diameter circle you use to hang the chime over a hook is made of such cheap plastic I think I could snap it with my bare fingers. I was very disappointed in the hangar. When you pay this much for a hand crafted chime, you expect ALL components to be high quality. I reinforced the hangar with a spare metal hoop I happened to have. We shall see.

This chime has a great sound! I highly recommend this item to anyone. It sounds much better than any chime we ever had before. The price may seem a little high, but I think it was well worth it.


2 out of 5 stars Beautiful sound... when you can hear them.   November 9, 2004

I bought these chimes because of the beautiful tone they produce. However, it takes a very strong wind to make the chimes sound. It appears that the wooden center piece is set too far away from the tubes (i.e. it's too small) and the sail is a little small.

I've seen other Woodstock chimes at Lowes recently, and those had different wooden parts that created a sound with a smaller wind.



5 out of 5 stars Best chimes I've ever owned!   August 29, 2004

My wife and I purchased the Tenor Chime this spring. We now realize you get what you pay for. These chimes have the best sound we've ever heard. It doesn't take much of a breeze for them to play.
