Cheap Windchime for Sale

THis is a wonderful chime. The previous reviewer thought it would change his life (?)...it is meant to ENHANCE it! Beautiful tones eminate from the chime while the breezes blow through the trees. (It hangs in the tree). It is ethereal! Very calming, peaceful and special! Deep tone resinates forever! I love this chime...

These chimes produce low, sustained, mellifluous tones -- exactly what we were looking for. There's almost no probability of disturbing neighbors with these (unless there's gall-force winds . . . but then you've got other problems), and we've only heard compliments. Though more expensive than lesser chimes, this was a great investment in our serenity, AND Amazon's price was the best. You can buy an iPod for less, but you won't get any more bang for the buck.

My husband and I first heard the King David chimes in a gift shop in Lake Placid, NY. The tones produced were so haunting, we went home not being able to think about much else. So I found a set at a more reasonable price and gave it to him for our anniversary. We have them hanging under our back deck and the harmonious tones are absolutely heavenly. We live near one of the Finger Lakes, so we often have a breeze year round, which is perfect. Just listening to the deep, long-lasting, ringing tones of this chime is enough to send you into a state of bliss...or at least take the stress out of the day.We were so impressed with these chimes, we purchased the Athena chimes to hang in a nearby tree before the summer was out.

Excellant quality and beautiful tone. It is very large, so we had to have a large steal post constucted and installed to be able to hang it. It weighs 47 pounds and is longer than the overhang from our porch to the top of the porch railing.

Music of the Spheres wind chimes are best in class. My neighbors love them too and comment on the beautiful sounds coming from my garden.

Based on the descriptions, I believe "Cathedral" and "Tabernacle" are interchangeable for this style of JW Stannard wind chime -- and therefore ordered the least expensive one (which in our case was Tabernacle). We'd read on an independent forum that this set of chimes would sound best in an area in which it could echo, so we hung it near our covered entrance. It sounds wonderful! It only has four tubes, far fewer than our other Stannard chimes, but the notes compliment each other beautifully. If you're looking for a large-yet-affordable wind chime, one that will look and sound impressive (in the right setting), I think you'll be pleased with this style.

Big is better. These have beautiful clear resounding tones, not the annoying tinsel tinkle of the little cheap sets. Not loud so much as a pleasant background sound like waves on the shore or a spring rain. I am happy that I spent the extra money on these, they are worth it.

I purchased this for my wife over 1.5 years ago for Mother's day. This is a large and heavy chime. I ended up sinking a post in concrete and handing it off of a decorative hook. When the wind gets it going, the sound is beautiful. Much lower in tone, than what you would think of as a typical wind chime...after a full year in the weather, they still look brand new..they are beautifully made, and very durable.If you have a place for a large chime, I would recommend them.

great price and nice looking item. however, received mine broken. returns process is easy except the fact that they do not send a replacement. now, i have to reorder the exact same item from the exact same vendor for a higher price, AND it will not be here in time as a gift for Christmas. nice product, but bad service.

This review is for the J.W. Stannard 6 ft. Cathedral Windchimes. The quality of the metal helps, but it's the length that does it. I have had hand-tuned all-brass chimes, Balinese windmill bamboo gamelan chimes, etc. But to hear this chime is to learn that chimes are like pipe organs. You don't need any number of small-pipe organs if you own just one with big pipes.I also like the clunk-clunk of bamboo chimes. However I think the highest nobility for chimes is to have good metal with reverberations: each strike produces vibrations for a few seconds. The Cathedral chime tops all others in this regard.Some extra notes. * Be sure to click to the "New and Used" suppliers for the best price. In June 2008 this is about $60 + $8 new. * I first saw and heard this on sale at Agway for $85. If you too can find one on display, then I think that you too will be blown away. * Some other chimes are rather long and expensive but sound tinny. I think either the metal is poor or the pipes are too thin. * Walmart has 35" and 39" chimes for about $30 which are also pretty good, and go well with this Cathedral Chime, balancing out the deep tones with some midrange. * The JW Stannard Allegro is probably the ultimate for the highest notes that still have good resonance. * Now may be the best time to buy things like this at relatively reasonable cost. * However, keep in mind that you won't want to put the Cathedral Chime or the Allegro anywhere that it will be rained on or stolen.…

Have had a "Music of the Spheres" Gypsy Alto wind chime for years. This particular chime is basically whole tones in B flat. It is the most beautiful chime us old folks have ever heard. A MUST if you love wind chimes.

I like good wind chimes and own several above average versions so when this came up for sale on Amazon for $330 I jumped at the opportunity to buy it (only to watch other versions drop to below $300 days later but so it goes]. In any event, this is my first set of chimes from Music of the Spheres but I've always been impressed by their bass chimes and was not let down. They arrived promptly and well packaged. Everything was in good order except for the large flag which was bent in transit - otherwise well packaged. The chimes themselves are large and deeply resonant...something I was concerned about given the coating. In the past I've purchased several large chimes from Grace Notes which are simply incredible chimes (uncoated) so I wondered how these would compare - quite favorably! Grace notes seem to have a slightly more "thin" sound whereas these have a little "buffered" or slight "muffle" to them but very minimal. It actually sounds very nice on the bass chimes and the overall sound quality is impressive. For comparisons sake, I purchased chimes from another well known brand that reminds everyone of large rock concerts and sent them back due to sounding like clanking cans. If you are serious about sound quality of chimes then stick to Grace Notes or Music of the Spheres - both are excellent choices and well worth the additional expense. These are large chimes so you will need plenty of space to hang them but the low sound makes them non-obtrusive.…

This is the 3rd "Music of the Spheres" windchime I own - and the largest. It is about as tall as I am! They all sound wonderful, and harmonize beautifully. One chime is over 20 years old, and still holding up to the weather. These chimes are worth their price!The size and weight of the Bass chime makes it a bit trickier to hang than the others (the mezzo soprano & the alto), and it needs a fastener about 8' up.The sound samples are OK, but the real thing is even better.

These look classy and sound great. The curved plate can also be easily removed when it is very windy and you want to save your ears. We are quite pleased.
