Grace Note Wind Chime Testimony
As a musician, I am amazed to find chimes tuned to various scales and their tone is unlike any other windchime. Our first one 10 years ago was for our August anniversary with an engraving on the back about family harmony. We have moved twice since then and the two Grace Notes go up first. The E minor 7/11 by our bedroom and the lower G major 6/9 outside the living room. My 76 year old father is receiving a baritone Grace Note for Christmas because that's where the majority of his hearing remains. He can set in his chair looking out over the garden and listen to beautiful music."

and craftsmanship. Available in Petite, Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large,
Super, Steeple and Deluxe. These precision tuned wind chimes have earned

Classic Wind Chimes offer a broad spectrum of tones and prices fit most
everyone's needs. All tunings are in the Key of C, with corresponding
notes and chord engraved on one side of each aluminum windplate. Classic
Wind Chimes are handcrafted from thick tempered aluminum tubing with a

also creates a softer contact sound when applied to wind chime tubing.
These strikers are not subject to drying or cracking and require no
maintenance.
Tuned Windchime History: In 1982 musician Jeff Kile was living in a rural Louisiana tree house
and playing music on the street for spare change. Jeff's love for music
combined with his natural surroundings sparked an idea for creating the ultimate
wind chime. Harmonically tuned aluminum wind chimes were already being marketed,
but Jeff envisioned a wind chime with a unique suspension design. All of the
wind chimes on the market used a similar suspension that utilized string through
holes in the top of the tubes. This suspension technique reduced the resonance
of the chimes. By placing pins inside the tubes at the resonant node (the spot
on a vibrating tube that doesn't vibrate) Jeff eliminated the interference of
the string against the tubes. This innovative design resulted in longer and
clearer resonance The original Grace Note Windchimes were tuned by ear to notes
that Jeff played on his guitar. Encouraged by the sound quality of his wind
chimes, Jeff returned to his home state of California and turned to his brother,
Mark, for support. With Mark's $300.00 tax return check as a business start up,
the partnership was born. They named the company Grace Note Wind Chimes. In music, the term "grace note" refers to an unwritten musical note
that falls between two existing notes, as in a bent note. A grace note is a
musical adornment. It seemed a fitting name for such harmonic wind
chimes.
During lean early years they assembled wind chimes in their
parents' barn and spent most of the time on the road, selling Grace Note Wind
Chimes at craft shows around the country. It wasn't long, however, before the
amazing sound quality of Grace Note Windchimes earned them a loyal following.
Grace Note Wind Chimes has continued to prosper through the years. It quickly
outgrew the barn as a production site, and moved into a spacious well equipped
factory. Many new members have been added to a growing extended family. The
amazing growth and success of Grace Note Wind Chimes hasn't come at the cost of
the friendly spirit and attention to detail inherent in a small family business.
Grace Note Wind Chimes is still a small company with big ideals. As they
celebrate almost twenty years of hard earned luck, Jeff and Mark are ever
mindful that the prosperity of Grace Note Wind Chimes depends on the
satisfaction of its customers, the Grace Note Windchimes sales team is eager to
assist you with any questions that you may have. (866)788-7884
