Know before you buy
A pentatonic scale consists of five notes per octave, which are mathematically arranged to sound harmonious regardless of the order in which they are played. This ensures that the chime produces a pleasant, melodic sound rather than discordant noise when the wind blows.
Since the wood is not weather-resistant, it is best to hang the chimes in a sheltered area, such as under a porch or deep eaves. To maintain the finish, you can occasionally apply a light coat of exterior-grade wood oil or polyurethane to protect the wood from moisture and temperature changes.
While the pitch is fixed by the length and tuning of the aluminum tubes, you can customize the chime by adjusting the windcatcher. The removable design allows you to swap it for a different shape or weight, which can change how frequently the chime activates in light or heavy breezes.
The Encore Chimes of Earth are designed for outdoor enjoyment, but they are not weather-resistant. We recommend bringing them indoors during extreme weather conditions, such as high winds, heavy storms, or freezing temperatures, to preserve the finish and structural integrity of the wood and aluminum.
With an overall length of 37 inches and a 7-inch diameter, you should allow for at least 8 to 10 inches of clearance around the chime to prevent it from hitting walls, trees, or railings. This space ensures the tubes can swing freely and produce the intended resonance.
