Tibetan monks signal the beginning and end of a meditation period with small cymbals. This chime can be used for the same purpose. The two polished aluminum rods are precision tuned to almost, but not quite, the same pitch. When struck simultaneously, the rods begin ringing with a pulsating beat, which helps heighten and focus awareness. The rods are fastened to a smooth, cherry-finished hardwood base that measures 7-1/2 inches long, small enough to keep on a meditation table or by the bed. A rubber-tipped mallet and listening exercises are included. 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 percussion zenergy 2 December 22, 2008
This instument has a lovely sound & works perfectly to begin & end meditation, especially in a group setting.
strange tones, not unpleasant, just odd December 20, 2008
I have one of the smaller, single-"bell" units and like the tone it produces, clear, ringing, with LOTS of resonances; this two-"bell" unit is much more complex in the tone(s) it produces. When both "bells" are struck, I can "feel the beats" between the tones generated, which are slightly offset. The resulting mixed sound is extremely complex compared to the single unit, and has an "Oriental" overcast to the tones as they mix. If you're a "pure western music" "trained ear", you might find this a little unsettling at first, since there doesn't seem to me to be a "normal diatonic" relationship between the primary tones, but rather an "Oriental" relationship. If you're looking for an "Oriental-ish" sound, this little unit should be considered.
 Watch out if you have a dog November 29, 2008
Compact, well-designed, and well made chime with a sweet, high tone provided that the chime is struck very gently. However, if struck with anything more than the lightest touch, the chime sends my dog running for cover into the other room--must really hurt her ears. To solve the problem I bought a Tibetan singing bowl with a mid-range tone instead.
 GREAT FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD CLASSROOMS October 31, 2008
I am a Kindergarten teacher and this works wonders in my classroom!!! My students love it!!
It works just fine October 24, 2008
This chime works just fine for me. Gets eveyone's attention at meetings I conduct, but is not intrusive like a gavel.
