Know before you buy
A pentatonic scale consists of five notes per octave that 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.
Yes, the Chimes of Pluto is part of the Encore Collection and is specifically designed to harmonize with other chimes in that series. You can mix and match different pieces from the collection to create a layered, orchestral sound in your garden.
The wood top is finished to withstand outdoor conditions, but like all wood components, it will perform best if kept in a sheltered area. Over time, exposure to direct sun and rain may cause the finish to weather, which is a natural part of the aging process for outdoor wood.
The windcatcher is the piece at the bottom that catches the breeze to strike the tubes. Because it is removable, you can easily customize the chime by replacing it with a different design or removing it entirely if you want to silence the chime during particularly windy days.
No, the aluminum tubes are corrosion-resistant and will not rust. They are designed to maintain their musical quality and appearance throughout the seasons, making them an excellent choice for long-term outdoor use.
