WOODSTOCK CHIMES Signature Collection, Chimes of Olympos, 36 in. Silver Wind Chime OWS
$61.45
The original Woodstock Chime. This mysterious and soothing wind chime plays the ancient Greek pentatonic scale devised by Olympos, Phrygian flutist and lyre player of the seventh century B.C. Olympos is given credit for the introduction of the flute into Greece from Phrygia, thus adding a new instrumental sound to that country. It is said that Olympos was also very inventive with rhythm, which just may qualify him as the original King of Rhythm and Blues. Because of these contributions, Plutarch, the Greek historian and biographer, named Olympos the father of Greek music. Nearly 3 thousand years later, the bluesy scale of Olympos, tuned in the pure system of “just intonation,” is still heard today on the Japanese Koto and on this Woodstock Chime. This chime has a lifetime tuning guarantee.WOODSTOCK CHIMES THE ORIGINAL MUSICALLY TUNED WIND CHIMES. In 1979, the first Woodstock Chime was created by GRAMMY Award-winning musician Garry Kvistad from an aluminum lawn chair he found in a landfill. As a professional musician and instrument designer, he was fascinated by the Scales of Olympus, a 7th century pentatonic scale that can’t be played on a modern piano. Garry cut and tuned the lawn chair chime tubes to the exact frequency of the ancient scale. The resulting Chimes of Olympus was the first Woodstock Chimes Wind Chimes and is still one of our bestselling wind chimes. Garry and his wife Diane founded Woodstock Chimes in 1979 and it remains based in New York’s Hudson Valley.
