EASY CUSTOMIZATION. The removable windcatcher can be taken to a trophy shop, printer or jeweler to be engraved or silk-screened. QUALITY THAT IS . Woodstock stands behind every product they make with a one-year and a lifetime tuning on their musically tuned chimes. WOODSTOCK THE ORIGINAL MUSICALLY TUNED CHIME. Tuned to beautiful melodies and scales from around the world and available in a wide range of styles, songs and sizes, you can choose the Woodstock Chime that speaks to your soul. HOW IT ALL BEGAN. Garry and his wife Diane founded Woodstock Percussion, in 1979 and it remains a family-owned business in New York's Hudson Valley. Grammy 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. Set Contains: 1 x Chimes of Mars - Evergreen

Makes a lovely, yet strong sound. It was a gift.
I thought it was bigger but my fault for not reading the details closely. Sounds amazing.

Smaller than I thought
I have loads of Woodstock wind chimes and several from the Encore collection. These are a little disappointing as they are very small and i DID read the description prior to buying. These are listed as 17” and that is measuring from the tippy top to the extreme bottom of the engravable part. Also there is no metal loop on the string from which to hang which makes this look not as well crafted as all the rest. They do sound lovely so it is what it is but lacks the visual beauty the others have.

4 stars...BUT WITH TWO CAVEATS!
I'm happy with the purchase, but MUSICIANS TAKE NOTE!These chimes are tuned to the G **MINOR** scale. From bottom to top: D, E flat, G, A, B flat. As a result, the sound is SOMBER and mysterious. If you're looking for cheery tones, these chimes will not fit the bill. If you look diligently, the little movie that provides you with the sound sample also shows the notes of the scale to which these chimes are tuned. I didn't spot that until after receiving these chimes. It's to Woodstock chimes credit that they do this, but I wish that information wasn't "buried" in a not-obvious spot.And there's another thing to keep in mind. The "drop" - the diamond-shaped piece of wood that is meant to catch the wind - is too heavy to allow the chimes to sound in anything but a brisk gust of wind. The good thing is that the drop is easily replaced. I cut an equally sized diamond shape from the plastic top of a disposable food container and now the chimes sound with subtle regularity.I have found this "heavy drop" issue to occur with other Woodstock Chimes I've purchased in the past, though with others the drop was not replaceable.So I recommend these chimes, but please be aware of those two characteristics and decide accordingly if you're considering a purchase.

Nice Gift for 8th Anniversary
The media could not be loaded. I have given and received Woodstock chimes in the past, and have always been happy with the quality. I was looking for a nice 8th "bronze" anniversary gift for my husband and these fit the bill! Note - these are fairly small - the longest pipe is just over 7" - I was actually not paying attention to that detail when I ordered them. From the top of the hanging string to the bottom of the sail is 17"... but the sound they give off is calming and mysterious.

Martian melodies
The media could not be loaded. Woodstock Encore Collection Black Chimes of Mars Windchime Color: Black Outdoor, Home, Garden, Supply, Maintenance I am satisfied with this purchase and will buy the other stars and planets to fill in the space between my carport and my neighbor's car area. This is an area where people come to both homes. I initially had hanging plants there but they did not like that spot, they like the ground better.I moved in 2011, since then, both homes have been remodeled, painted and landscaped. This area faces East on the Northern side of the park, toward the RV area, which has also attracted increasingly interesting people IMHO. Does music help? It can't hurt!Zen Wind MeditationFrom this direction I can see the rising sun a bit to the left of where the chimes play. Mars is visible in the evening sky facing NW.I sang to the wind instead of touching the chimes. In a few minutes, the wind responded by sounding the chimes. Then I dropped something (I still don't know what) and chimes paused. I refocused my attention on chimes and it started up again.

Great sounding chimes
I bought a set of these in different sizes and put them near each other. They sound amazing.Woodstock Chimes of Mars, Bronze- Encore Collection, Woodstock Chimes DCB14 Mercury Chime, Bronze, and theWoodstock Chimes DCK47 The Original Guaranteed Musically Tuned Saturn Chime, Black. The paddles are all the same color so they actually match up quite well. You don't really know how good chimes sound until you hear your neighbor's cheap Wallyworld chimes. It is the difference between tuned and untuned.

Beautiful sound but in a minor key
The sound these chimes make is crystal clear and very tuneful but I want to mention that they are tuned to a minor key. If you know the song "The Rains of Castermere" then you will get a better idea of my meaning as these chimes hit almost all those notes. That is something I would have liked to know before I bought these chimes so I thought I might pass that tidbit on.Now, it's not unpleasant but I think I would have preferred something a bit more upbeat in my garden rather than the Theme to the Red Wedding!That said, it is a beautiful sound - almost ethereal - and I won't be returning the chimes. They are sturdy and well made so it looks like I'm going to be pottering around in my garden whilst humming in the minor key for a long time to come!

Delightful tune not too long
My husband is a musician and he has pitch perfect hearing. He said this is stunning sounds beautiful and it’s not too long either. I would give it five but there is a card but hands from it and when I gently tried to pull it off it pulled a piece of wood away as well. But I just tied delightful tune back on and they sound absolutely gorgeous. I am going to buy again for gifts

Nice little chime
We have a few windows that we open at home which are still without wind chimes so we have about 6 or 7 now and always looking for another one. Thankfully these days you can usually find previews of the chime sounds online to give an impression of what you will hear (in a decent breeze, at least).I tend to prefer larger chimes and usually rate smaller ones less highly simply because they can all start sounding alike at the smaller sizes (the longest tube on this one is 7 inches, but we have others with longest tubes at 15 inches that produce nice comparatively deep resonant tones). The length of the tube influences the harmonics that it can produce. So, for me, buying a smaller chime becomes more of an exercise in colour matching! Having said that, the bronze tubes seem to be slightly mellower than silver tubes, slightly less bright-sounding, but at these sizes that difference is small.The Amazon description for some reason says 6 tubes, but the chime is pentatonic (5 tones) and therefore has 5 tubes. Larger chimes will also have room for more tubes, and our two largest chimes cover an octave (8 tubes, obviously) which does wonders for the variety of tones and chords the chime can produce.For a nice background sound, all chimes work for me, and as a small 5-tube chime, this is amongst the best, since Woodstock make efforts to tune their tubes and create pleasant harmonious chimes as opposed to some of the nasty discordant ones you can still find if you look hard enough.
