We chose to stock the Gentle Spirits line of chimes from Virginia first & foremost because of their incredible sound. But the more we learned, the happier we were with our decision. These elegantly simple, hand-tuned, high-quality chimes with excellent tones and resonance, are assembled in Manassas from all USA sourced components -- and with the right engineering: the wind sail and the space between tubes is large enough and the space from the clapper to the tubes is small enough to allow for the most gentle of breezes to release the sound from these chimes. Add the lifetime warranty on the tubing and the 5 year warranty on the cording, and we feel these chimes are an excellent investment. And if the chime should come untied after the warranty is over...? The company will retie any of their chimes for a small service charge. Come visit us and you'll hear these magnificent wind chimes as you enter our shop, hanging from our entry awning and swaying gently in the Hudson River breezes...
