Description

The original Woodstock Chime!

This mysterious and soothing chime is tuned to the ancient Greek pentatonic scale devised by Olympos, Phrygian flutist and lyre player of the seventh century B.C. Olympos is given credit for the introduction of the flute into Greece from Phrygia, thus adding a new instrumental sound to that country. It is said that Olympos was also very inventive with rhythm, which just may qualify him as the original King of Rhythm and Blues. Because of these contributions, Plutarch, the Greek historian and biographer, named Olympos the father of Greek music. Nearly three thousand years later, the bluesy scale of Olympos, tuned in the pure system of "just intonation," is still heard today in the Japanese koto and this Woodstock Chime.

    Our third purchase!

    We purchased Olympus about 35 years ago (at the original Woodstock, NY store) and loved them. We gifted them to a couple for their 10th Anniversary (apropos) and just recently bought our third Olympos chimes for ourselves, since the 35 year old ones needed some minor repairs. Once repaired, we will have them front and back yards. It is a mellow, beautiful chime.

    What's not to like?!

    We have had Woodstock Chimes at our home for over thirty (30) years
    They take a beating at the beach due to wind and salt air
    Really benefited from rehab program they no longer offer
    Have no reservations about recommending them
    We truly get a lot of satisfaction from hearing them outside our window

    chimes of Olympus are my favorite since the late 1980’s !!

    I don’t even know how many different sets of the Olympus i’ve had over the last 35+ years. They have fed my soul at every home I’ve lived in, and I’ve given many as wedding or birthday gifts. They stand alone for me, as the BEST.

    My new chimes are a great addition and complement my 35 year old Woodstock chimes
