Woodstock DCV14 Encore Collection Verdigris Chimes of Mercury Windchime, Green, 3.0 in*14.0 in*3.0 in

I use wind chimes not in the standard way (I live in a small flat in a social housing scheme), but I take them out to wild places and make professional grade recordings of natural soundscapes including the wind chimes. The Chimes of Mercury were among the three different really small and light sets of chimes that I bought in the spring of 2013 to take out on some of my Cornwall coast path hikes, to suspend on tripods on clifftops so that I could have the chimes sounds in soundscapes of often really interesting and sometimes dramatic sea action.The Mercury chimes are actually the smallest and highest-pitched of those that I bought. To my ears they are about as high as a set of chimes could go while one could still be able to clearly hear and differentiate between the pitches of each note. Go anything much higher and one would hear rather undifferentiated tinklings. Because they are so small, their sound is not only high pitched, but it doesn't carry very far - which can be an advantage, depending on one's own situation. For my purposes I put the small chimes relatively close to the recorder and the larger ones further back, in order to get a good balance.The tuning of these chimes is to a mode on the pentatonic scale, and it really is incredibly, hauntingly, beautiful, going particularly well with sea sound. The only thing is that these bronze chimes are rather shrill toned. If I wanted the Mercury chimes for more normal use I would have chosen the silver finish version, for that has a smoother and more refined tone. However, I deliberately chose the bronze finish version of this and the Mars chimes in order to have some variety of tone in my chimes ensemble recordings - and I think that worked extremely well.Actually I have made available a lot of CDs of my 'Wind Chimes in the Wild' series, which include Cornish clifftop recordings some of which use the Mercury chimes - all of which you can find if you Google "philip goddard e-store" (not in quotes).

The sound they make is magical. Best I've ever bought. Highly recommended.

Is beautiful wind shine, I buyer two, one small and bigger, I thought is too small for the people review, but is not, is more the enough, the another one is too big, the sound is beautiful both, good quality, I used for Feng Shui, to placate the flying negative stars, and is so perfect, look beautiful in my room and my entrance home, for good chí, good vibrations. Thank you so much Garry Kvistad for you beautiful creation. Son hermosos!!! Me enamoro su trabajo.

Well packaged & accurately described, sounds so pleasing to the ear. Hanging on garden shed, sounds like fairies in the garden & makes me smile.

Great chimes - best sound really relaxing

Exactly what I was wanting from a wind chime. Has a lovely delicate tone which is a lovely background sound in the garden. I chose these woodstock cimes as I had seen them previously in a garden centre and therefore had heard the sound and knew they were of good quality, sadly the one I wanted was unavailable at the time. I would certainly recommend to anyone requiring a gentle sound which doesn't get too much.

Ever heard from a chime - bought as a gift I will now be buying one for my garden too

I have no idea why this wont chime I have even added a lite weight larger paddle to the bottom still very disappointing

These chimes have a beautiful, bell-like ring. Unlike most chime companies, they know how to suspend and ring the tubes correctly for a pleasingly slow ring decay.The sound recording included in the item description is accurate.Highly, highly recommended!

This is a replacement for the identical [except for the colour] chime I received as a gift over 20 years ago. The original was outside the entire time and eventually lost a leg and it's 'dinger', was covered in moss and just rather sad, so I replaced it. This chime has a nice light, very pleasant sound and I look forward to warmer weather so I can be outdoors to enjoy it. Woodstock Chimes are the best. :)
