Woodstock Chimes will Fascinate with New Trio of Harp Chimes

Woodstock Chimes, a leading manufacturer of musically-tuned windchimes, is preparing to charm shoppers with its latest harp-style chime designs this market season. The launch will feature two different styles: Enchantment Chime™ and Emperor Harp™ – Bronze [available in two sizes]. All the chimes feature tubes strung in an elegant harp fashion and descending from a beautiful wooden topper. With retail prices between $20 and $40, these chimes are expected to be very popular debuts. These, and more than two dozen other new products, can be seen at numerous markets this summer, including Dallas, Atlanta, New York and, for the first time, Las Vegas.

A unique twist on the traditional harp chimes, the new Enchantment Chime features five silver anodized aluminum tubes with a single bead threaded inside each of the tube walls. As the wind hits the chime, the beads gently knock on the tube walls, allowing the tubes to sing out the ancient melodies of its Japanese tuning, as if by magic. The chime’s tubes descend from a 14″, cherry finish ash wood topper, which adds to its eastern world flair with its distinctive shape. The chime measures 25″ in length and retails for $40 each.

“Eastern world-style chimes have been a growing genre for us for many years,” noted Garry Kvistad, founder and owner of Woodstock Chimes. “We’ve worked hard to keep the designs and sound of these chimes fresh. By adding the inner bead to the Enchantment Chime, it really took this harp-style piece to the upper echelon of design.”

Woodstock Chimes is also expanding its existing harp chime offerings with two new Emperor Harp chimes. The Emperor Harp – Bronze features eight bronze anodized aluminum tubes and an eastern world inspired, teak finish ash wood topper. This chime measures 17″ in length and retails for $20. In grander fashion, the Emperor Harp – Large, Bronze is the same style as the Emperor Harp – Bronze, but features 16 tubes, measures 22″ in length and retails for $33.

Woodstock Chimes’ new product launches can be found during the 2013 summer show season at the Dallas Market Center, AmericasMart Atlanta, Javits Center in New York, and the LA Gift Show. In addition, the company will make its first-ever appearance at the World Market Center Las Vegas.
