Woodstock Chimes® to Unveil New Rust-Themed Collection

Shokan, N.Y. — Woodstock Chimes, a leading manufacturer of precision-tuned windchimes, will debut its latest collection, Woodstock Rust˙, during the summer market season. The 10-piece collection combines the company’s signature quality sound and design, including wood and precious stone accents, with rusted metal features for a more contemporary look. The rust finish also offers a natural beauty that warms-up the steel elements with an earthy, brown color and a weathered texture. Woodstock Rust, comprised of bells and windchimes, will be showing at various markets including Dallas, Atlanta, and New York.

“The word rust often has a negative connotation to it,” says Woodstock CEO Garry Kvistad. “We wanted to take that perception and create a unique looking, and flawlessly sounding, collection that would embrace the look of rust and the beauty that it offers. Woodstock Rust is the result of that and, based on the feedback to date, we look forward to having great success with these products.”

The products offered in the new collection are as follows:

Woodstock Temple Bell® – Trio, Rust: Two trio bells are offered: turquoise and amber. The warm brown patina serves as a rustic backdrop for the bright turquoise accents and attractively compliments the amber-tone on the trio of bells. MSRP $30.00/ea.

Portrait Chime˙: Five chimes are offered: jade, amethyst, blue crystal, amber, and turquoise. Each chime is brilliantly enhanced by a windcatcher that features a brightly colored genuine stone portrait, a lovely contrast to the chimes’ metal frames. MSRP $30.00 – $60.00/ea.

Woodstock Metalworks Bell˙ ˆ Heroic, Rust: The handcrafted steel bell has a classic design and harmonious ring, which emits a low, rich tone when used. MSRP $110.00.

Victorian Garden Chime˙ – Coventry, Rust: A complement to the company’s original Victorian Chime˙, this piece is tuned to the peaceful patterns of Gregorian chant, and combines the artistry and sounds of the Victorian era in one superb chime. MSRP $60.00.

Woodstock Butterfly Dancer˙: This country charmer design showcases the chime’s uniquely shaped rods, which suggest the butterfly’s path as it flits and floats on the breeze. MSRP $30.00.
