A blend of serene yet striking notes, the Music of the Spheres Whole Tone Alto 50 Inch Wind Chime creates a dramatic ambiance that soothes and exhilarates at the same time. Claude Debussy, inspired by Balinese music at the 1896 Paris Exposition, began composing with this atonal scale and used in his piece La Mer. Later, television’s original Star Trek used it in the beaming up sequences. Television and film scores frequently feature this scale for underwater scenes and dream or flashback sequences. The Alto chime is a pleasant combination of the delicacy of the smaller chimes with the sustaining tone of the larger sizes. Just like all Music of the Spheres chimes, this Whole Tone chime is handcrafted and tuned to A440, which is a standard orchestral pitch. It’s made of a tempered aluminum alloy tubing that will never rust. Each tube is coated with a sleek black corrosion-resistant finish that provides durability in all kinds of outdoor environments (acid rain, salt air, etc.). All components are made in the USA. on the Music of the Spheres Product Information link below to learn more about the materials, craftsmanship, and tuning process involved in the creation of this wind chime. Wind Chime Length: The length of a wind chime is measured by the overall length of the chime (not tube length)- hanging hook to the end of the sail. This windchime is 50 inches overall.
