The original model that started it all.
Under constant development for over 9 years, every detail has been carefully designed and handcrafted to bring you the absolute best wind chime that I can make. The lower support ring which comes standard with every set prevents tube to tube contact and guarantees that your set will never annoy or terrify you when a storm blows through in the middle of the night. Custom orders are available and can include tubes up to 20 feet long.
Tubes and rings start as raw tube material and are surface finished by hand. The tubes are usually tuned to an accuracy of +/- 2Hz or less using a note selection based on the Am7 blues scale, among others.
I clear coat anodize all aluminum parts in order to protect the finish. Use mild soap and water if you feel the need to clean them.
Dyed sets require more equipment than I'm willing to use in the anodizing process, but I can send them out for additional cost if you would like a dyed set.
The polyester Dacron cord I use is rated for up to 15 years of direct UV exposure and offers the highest available resistance to stretch and abrasion. Additional armoring is provided where needed on the Large Blues Bass and Harmony sets.
Strikers are typically made of rubber coated wood, but a coated quartz bead is also sometimes used when more weight is required. The Large Blues Bass uses solid rubber. Additional hardware is made of nickel plated stainless steel.
The sail (AKA wind catcher) is a recyled hard disk drive platter which is made of aluminum and plated with platinum.
I'd like to thank Lee Hite (leehite.org) and Chuck's Chimes (sites.google.com/site/chuckchimes) for the wealth of information they've published on the subject of making chimes. If you are thinking you'd like to make your own set, I highly recommend you check them out. A special thanks goes to Brandt at Renaissance Fine Art Supplies (rfasupplies.com) for his help with some photography post-production.
