CODE: GDAWWSChimes of Westminster comes from the Woodstock Chimes range of wind chimes. In 1979, Grammy Ward-winning musician and instrument designer Garry Kvistad founded Woodstock Percussion with a single great idea – to make the world’s best sounding wind chime. He’s been creating his world-famous, musically tuned Woodstock Chimes ever since. Today his company offers a unique variety of high quality, affordable musical gifts from around the world that inspire, entertain and bring pleasure to people of all ages.
This wind chime plays the famous tones of London’s Big Ben, pealing out glorious sounds of celebration and spiritual richness.
The unique sound of these long tubes is the result of a phenomenon called the missing fundamental, a special way our brain perceives the vibrations from our ear. This occurs when a sound’s overtones suggest a frequency to our ear that the sound itself lacks. Chimes of Westminster plays the same traditional and joyous melody as the Westminster Quarters heard in the streets of central London for over 150 years.
