Grace In Motion

We've had a lot of rain lately, but this morning the sun was shining. We saw the sun glistening on the Grace Note Wind Chime hanging on the Lanai. These classic wind chimes are handcrafted from thick-tempered aluminum tubing, with a soft brushed finish, so they look great hanging there. Oh, but when the breezes come, and you hear the chimes, well, it's Grace In Motion.

What we like most about the Grace Note Wind Chimes is the sound. These precision-tuned wind chimes have earned the reputation of being the most musical wind chimes on the market. Designed for ultimate clarity of tone and resonance, Grace Note's Classic tuned wind chimes feature a unique pinned suspension device combined with superior materials and craftsmanship. These wind chimes are available in nine sizes, from petite all the way up to deluxe chimes, which are a full 7 feet tall! Grace Note manufactures them with seven different tunings (songs). What I also like is where they are made, in California, USA. We love those homegrown products.

Grace Notes wind chimes
has an interesting history. The designer of these chimes was a musician, Jeff Kile. In 1982 he was living in a rural Louisiana tree house, yes, TREE HOUSE, and playing music on the street for change! Jeff's love for music combined with his natural surroundings sparked an idea for creating the ultimate wind chime. This innovative design resulted in longer and clearer resonance. The original Grace Note wind chimes were tuned by ear to notes that Jeff played on his guitar. Encouraged by the sound quality of his wind chimes, Jeff returned to his home state of California and turned to his brother, Mark, for support. With Mark's $300.00 tax return check as a business start up, the partnership was born. They named the company Grace Note Chimes. In music, the term "grace note" refers to an unwritten musical note that falls between two existing notes, as in a bent note. A grace note is a musical adornment. It seemed a fitting name for such harmonic wind chimes.

We enjoy our chimes so much that we know Grace Notes wind chimes would make a great gift for any music lover. These chimes can be delivered gift wrapped with a personalized engraving! Sounds like a great wedding gift to me!
