The American Makers Behind the Music
When you hear the deep, resonant tone of a Corinthian Bells® Wind Chime, you’re hearing the work of Wind River Chimes, a family-owned company that has been crafting wind chimes in Virginia for over 35 years.
Starting in 1986, Wind River Chimes has transformed the wind chime world by creating wind chimes that aren’t just simple décor, but rather precision-tuned musical instruments that inspire peace and reflection. Every Corinthian Bells wind chime is cut, tuned, assembled, and tested by hand, right here in the USA.
From the earliest days of Wind River, our team of musicians, engineers, and artisans has shared one goal: to turn every breeze into a song of harmony and beauty.
What Makes Corinthian Bells Wind Chimes So Special
Corinthian Bells are the flagship Wind River chime, and the most popular, combining acoustical science with handcrafted artistry. Here’s what truly sets them apart:
-
Tuned for Musical Precision: Every Corinthian Bells wind chime is hand-tuned to a specific musical scale - the foundation of their signature harmony. In fact, every Wind River chime is tuned by hand for harmony and consistency, ensuring every note sounds musically pure and melodious. Each chime is calibrated with precision instruments to achieve concert-quality pitch. That means multiple Corinthian Bells chimes - whether tuned to C, D, or G - will harmonize beautifully when played together by the wind.
-
Rich, Lasting Resonance: The secret to the beloved Corinthian Bells wind chime sound lies in the powder-coated aluminum alloy tubes, chosen for strength, tonal clarity, and lasting resonance, plus exceptional durability in all climates. Each Wind River chime has a unique sound based on tube length, tube wall thickness, and striker placement - details that our artisans balance perfectly to create tones that are deep, warm, and lingering.
-
Built to Withstand the Elements: Corinthian Bells wind chimes from Wind River are designed for a lifetime of outdoor performance, built to withstand the elements while maintaining pitch-perfect harmony.
Each Corinthian Bells wind chime features:
-
-
Powder-coated finishes that resist rust, UV fading, and corrosion
-
Weather-resistant nylon cords for strength and flexibility
-
Polycarbonate strikers that maintain perfect tone in all temperatures
-
From mountain snow to coastal humidity, Corinthian Bells wind chimes keep their soothing, rich tones in all kinds of weather.
-
American Craftsmanship, Every Step of the Way: Each Wind River chime is born from American craftsmanship and attention to detail. Tubes are precisely cut, tuned, hung, and tested by hand - no assembly line automation, no shortcuts. This hands-on approach is why Corinthian Bells wind chimes are trusted by thousands of families and gift-givers - a true symbol of American artistry and integrity.
-

Their tones are more than sound; they’re moments of stillness, reminders of love, and reflections of peace.
