Amazon.com Review
This chime celebrates one of the world's great winemaking regions in both color and tone. The ash wood parts are stained a burgundy red, and the nine matte-finish aluminum tubes, in a dark grape purple, are tuned to the poignant notes of an aria by the great Italian composer, Giuseppe Verdi. An image of grapes is burned into the wooden "feather" of the chime. Measuring 27 inches in length, the chime is weather-resistant, although the wooden parts benefit from regular oiling and the aluminum tubes from occasional cleaning. Musician Gary Kvistad founded Woodstock Chimes in 1979, and today the family-owned company produces a wide range of handcrafted, precision-tuned chimes. A one-year warranty covers the chime against defects, and all tuned Woodstock Chimes come with a lifetime tuning guarantee. --Ann Bieri

Woodstock in Tuscany
I have owned Woodstock windchimes for many years. I've often given them for house warming gifts. When we bought our little place on the coast we decided a smaller windchime was needed. We searched and found this set. These are different, they are smaller yet sound great no tinny tinkling in the breeze we get a melodic and peaceful sound that seems to enhance the sound of the surf. I am a little concerned about the longevity of the chimes in the coastal environment - but nothing lasts forever especially when subjected to the salt air.

Takes more than a gentle breeze....
First, I will say that I would buy this again if given the opportunity. The product is as described...high quality and beautiful. The sound is wonderful. However, it does take more than a gentle breeze for these chimes to sound. I'm not sure why, but even when the "windcatcher" or "feather" is moving, it doesn't always translate to enough movement to produce the ringing. I live in very windy Oklahoma and the chimes are silent most of the time. They did sound beautiful during the last thunderstorm, though! Maybe I need to hang them in a different location?? Or maybe we're just having an unusual breezeless period?

In any case, I would have given these a 5 except for the amount of wind required for the chimes to sound.

Woodstock Tuscany Windchime
Delightful sound! This was my second addition to my Woodstock Windchime collection. The quality of construction and sound are far superior to others I have bought. The Woodstock brand is now my primary preference for my windchime collection as well as gift purchases.
