Tough synthetic cordage is highly
resistant to abrasion, ultra-violet degradation, rot and mildew. Central
tube suspension with smoothly polished tube ends prevent cord abrasion
typical of other, less labor-intensive suspension techniques.
Heavy gauge polished stainless steel rings
provide sturdy support and enduring beauty.
Tempered aluminum alloy tubing is custom
manufactured to our exacting specifications and will never rust.
Music of the
Spheres™ corrosion-protective finish preserves
chime's appearance and increases durability in hostile environments
(acid rain, salt air).
We cut and precisely tune each tube by hand
using just intonation, except for the whole tone scale, which uses equal
temperment.
Tubes are tuned to A440, standard
orchestral pitch, using the latest in technology.
Solid polyethylene clappers provide
superior tonal quality and outdoor durability.
The windcatcher, of the same finish and
material as the tubes, is the ideal size, weight, and shape for
optimal chime performance in 8 - 10 mph wind velocity. The corrosion
protective finish provides durability in all kinds of outdoor
environments (acid rain, salt air, etc.)
The windcatcher hook assembly provides simple
but effective method of varying the chime's activity level.
The clapper slides on the central cord up into
the ring creating a convenient "off-on" feature.
Windcatchers can also be easily removed
to subdue chime activity under blustery conditions.
A
rigorous final inspection ensures that your chime is up to our high
standards of acoustic and visual quality.
