Woodstock Wind Chimes for Outside, Garden Decor, Outdoor Decor for Your Patio and Front Porch (39") Woodstock Gregorian Chimes Tenor Silver Inspirational and Memorial Wind Chime Christmas Gifts (GTS)

I am writing this review as I look for other members of the Woodstock Gregorian chimes collection and thought that this might be useful. I have had these chimes for 15 years now and I’ve never had to mend them in any way. The wood finish wears as anything would out in the elements but the lacework has not faltered. Woodstock chimes adds grommets to the chime tubes to protect the string so they don’t fray from friction. The tuned chimes sound as beautiful today as they had brand new. I own the tenor and baritone sets and would gladly add the soprano and alto. You can’t go wrong with this line of chimes!

I bought these windchimes for my Mom because for one reason, she loves windchimes. I at first was only going to get the tenor because I love the deep sounding chimes instead of the more high pitch soprano ones BUT the beautiful melody of these chimes are far superior to the tinny sound of others, that my Mom wanted all three, soprano, tenor and baritone, she wants them to harmonize together, so I have ordered the soprano and baritone as well. Since she plays a baby grand piano I would say she knows her music. I do know it is a beautiful sound to my ears, I LOVE the way it softly holds the note for some time. I was passing by it when I could hear it humming, it sounded so soft and soothing!I would also like to add it is VERY well made and sturdy! One more thing, for those people who said that it takes a lot of wind to get it to chime, I haven't found that to be a problem AT ALL!! A small breeze sets it off, and where we live we get PLENTY of breezes, and WINDS!

Sad to say, but I am quite disappointed with these Woodstock chimes. Indications are that I previously ordered this same item, however; they do not seem to have the same beautiful tone as my original. I gave my old one to my daughter and it still sounds beautiful and rings in the slightest breeze. This newly purchased Gregorian wind chime just hangs there. Even in the strongest wind, it barely moves or makes a sound. Very disappointing!!! No matter where I hang it, no luck 😪

Woodstock chimes are the very best. End of story!!!

I purchased this set of chimes for my daughter, she loves chimes. The chimes arrived as advertised in time and in great shape. Even though it was a couple of days before her birthday we hung them up almost as soon as they arrived. So she was able to listen to them on the morning of her birthday. we live in western Nebraska, so there was no worry about there being wind that morning. My daughter is thrilled with them. They seem to be of a superior quality and I really believe they will last a long time, and the tone is absolutely beautiful, we couldn't possibly be happier with the purchase.

These chimes are exactly what I have wanted for years! The quality of workmanship is simple yet beautiful. They are the perfect size - not too small or too massive. The sound of the tenor chimes is exquisite - very pleasing to the ear and not excessive. I couldn't be happier.

This product is well made and is great quality, the item was delivered very quickly ... but for a wind chime its all it how it sounds and this has awesome sound!

item is not very durable . weak cord broke already . it must be restrung .only 2 months old! too weak for winter outdoors . not worth the money .also, i can not return it for refund?!

Beautiful sound!

I actually bought three different sets of Woodstock Chimes, each tuned to a different scale, not for any conventional purpose but for my 'Wind Chimes in the Wild' project. For this I would take one or more sets of chimes out to a carefully chosen reasonable wild place, hang them up on trees alone or in various combinations where there was sufficient wind, and make longish recordings of the whole natural soundscape, incorporating the particular chimes sounds. These recordings have proved to be exquisitely beautiful, and my plan is presently to arrange commercial produce-on-demand CD productions of many of those recordings, which would then go up on Amazon.com. In the meantime I am putting a 5-minute excerpt of each recording up at Freesound.org (my personal website links through to all that). The full length recordings of combinations of the chimes are not soporific like the commercial recordings of wind chimes as 'relaxation' sound, but are in some cases quite as engaging as a work of symphonic music.I chose the 'silver' finish version of each set of chimes, because listening tests on other sites that gave short sound samples of the respective chimes to listen to showed that the 'silver' finish ones had an altogether brighter, 'sunnier' and more 'open' sound, I think because the various alternative finishes somewhat subdue the higher overtones.The Tenor Gregorian Chimes are tuned to a Gregorian Chant scale, which has a sort of radiance with a sense of 'grandness' about it, and that aspect of 'grandness' has interesting effects when combined with the other chimes that I'd bought (Chimes of Olympos and Chimes of Pluto). I have to say it - the sound of any and all of them is beautiful beyond description and is far removed from the popular image of wind chimes as being just New-Agey sweet little tinklings. Okay, part of the equation here is the way that I, a composer with a highly sensitive musical ear, am using and recording them in a way that gets the best out of them, but I think few reasonably sensitive people would not be moved by the beauty of sound of any of these three sets that I bought.I cannot commend these chimes too highly. My own preference is for a well balanced timbre, with a clearly audible and reasonably even spread of overtones, right into the highest reaches of the audible frequency range, and these silver finish ones seem to fit the bill admirably.

Great product, well packaged, etc.
