Description

Must be heard! Special acoustic effect makes this raga scale extra soothing.

Our Magical Mystery Chimes feature a musical phenomenon known as octave doubling. Here's how it works - you remember the Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do scale from The Sound of Music? The "Do" notes that come at the start and end of this scale are the same note, an octave apart. Notes separated by an octave are considered harmonically equivalent and "ring" together in a way that adds a pleasing sound to the music. Our Magical Mystery Chimes take this theory to the extreme - each note of the chime is matched with its "octave double." Never before used in windchimes, this special tuning heightens the harmonics, creating a song that must be heard to be believed.

When doubled, the notes of a North Indian raga scale sound as grand as the Taj Mahal. This chime's sound is mysterious and peaceful, as lovely as the story behind the famous palace. Inspired by love, an emperor had the Taj Mahal built in memory of his beloved wife during the 17th century. Enjoy the complex layering of this calming chime in your home or garden.

    These are the most beautiful chime tones I have ever heard in my life. I live on the water with lots of trees and they are in perfect harmony. Truly amazing, I'm keeping these for the rest of my life.

    Our Magical Mystery Chimes - Taj Mahal provide a pleasant musical background that can be enjoyed while outdoors on the deck or indoors in the main living area.
    This is our second Woodstock Chimes purchase, and we are very satisfied with the tone and quality of both chimes.
