"I just wanted to tell you how much
I LOVE the Grace Notes windchimes I got. I didn't realize that they could
"tune" windchimes to make a chord but, these are tuned. They are, by far,
the most beautiful I've ever heard. I also appreciate your prompt service.
I will use your service again." ~ Dottie LaRocca
For an extra $7.50 you can have the windplate custom engraved for an everlasting expression and reminder of your
love. See below for available engraving designs.

Additional
Features
The
hanging ring is made from stainless steel and will not rust.
The
ring above the tubes is aluminum and won't dry and crack like a wooden ring
would.
They
feature recycled composite lumber strikers. Composite lumber is not only
environmentally friendly it also creates a
softer contact sound
when applied to wind chime tubing. These strikers are not subject to
drying or cracking and require no maintenance.
The
varying level of the tubes allows the striker to hit each tube in the center
(or "sweet spot"). As xylophone players will attest, the center
radiates the purest tone.
The
larger radius of the (circle of) tubes provides greater space between the
tubes and striker, allowing each note to be heard individually, creating a
more melodic sound when the chimes are in play.
It
requires less wind to activate a Grace Note Chime, due to added length on
the center string.
The
lightweight aluminum windplate also contributes to the ease of play.
Unlike heavier wooden windplates, the aluminum is weather resistant.

CARE OF YOUR
WINDCHIMES
These chimes are
intended for outdoor use and will provide years of enjoyment with little or
no maintenance. In corrosive environments, like coastal areas, the
chimes will maintain a high luster if treated semi-annually with a
protective lubricant such as gun oil or silicon spray. If cleaning is
desired, we suggest that you use a nonmetallic scouring pad. Do not use
steel wool.
The composite-lumber striker is not
subject to drying or cracking and requires no maintenance.
There are plenty of windchimes on the market. Some are cheaper than Grace Note Chimes.
The reason for buying Grace Note is the sound quality.
These windchimes are
handcrafted from thick tempered aluminum tubing with a soft brushed finish.
Designed for ultimate
clarity of tone and resonance, Grace Note's Classic Tuned Windchimes feature
a unique pinned suspension device.
This
suspension technique reduced the resonance of the chimes. Placing pins
inside the tubes at the resonant node (the spot on a vibrating tube that
doesn't vibrate) eliminated the interference of the string against the
tubes. This innovative design resulted in longer and clearer resonance.
These precision tuned
windchimes have earned the reputation of being the most musical windchimes
on the market.
All tunings are in the
Key of C, with corresponding notes and chord engraved on one side of the
aluminum windplate, and for an additional $5.00, we can custom engrave the
flip side of the windplate. There are 35 styles available, all with
your custom wording (see samples at bottom of page).
