Must be heard! Special acoustic effect makes “Yellow Bird” take flight! Our Magical Mystery Chimes wind chimes feature a musical phenomenon known as Octave Doubling. Here’s how it works you remember the Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do scale from the Sound of Music? The “Do” notes that come at the start and end of this scale are the same note, an octave apart. Notes separated by an octave are considered harmonically equivalent and “ring” together in a way that adds a pleasing sound to the music. Our Magical Mystery Chimes wind chimes take this theory to the extreme — each note of these wind chimes are matched with its “octave double. ” Never before used in wind chimes, this special tuning creates a heightening of the harmonics, creating a song that must be heard to be believed. Our Calypso Island Chime is tuned to the last notes of Yellow Bird which is based on a 19thc. Haitian folk song. Harry Belafonte helped introduce this classic Calypso tune to America and was instrumental in making it popular through hit recordings by The Mills Brothers, Arthur Lyman and Lawrence Welk. HOW IT ALL BEGAN – Garry and his wife Diane founded Woodstock Chimes in 1979 and it remains based in New York’s Hudson Valley. GRAMMY(r) Award-winning musician Garry Kvistad created the first Woodstock Chime 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 had the idea to cut and tune the lawn chair chime 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 bestselling wind chimes.
