Woodstock Chimes Bells of Paradise

Just intonation is a tuning system based on simple whole-number ratios, which creates cleaner, more harmonious intervals than standard modern tuning. In practice, this means the chimes sound more resonant and less dissonant, producing a pure, melodic tone that feels more natural to the ear.

Because the aluminum tubes are specially suspended, they vibrate more freely than standard chimes. While resonance depends on the strength of the breeze, you can expect a longer, lingering decay after each strike compared to typical wind chimes.

Yes, the Bells of Paradise are built with weather-resistant materials, specifically aluminum, designed to withstand outdoor elements. While they are durable, bringing them inside during extreme weather events like hurricanes or severe ice storms will help preserve their finish and sound quality over time.

The 32-inch measurement refers to the overall length of the chime, measured from the top of the hanging ring to the bottom of the wind catcher. Keep this in mind when choosing a spot to hang them, as you'll want enough clearance for the wind catcher to move freely.

These chimes are designed for melodic, soothing tones rather than high volume. They perform best in a gentle breeze; in very high winds, the sound may become less distinct as the tubes strike more rapidly.
