- What Are Shenandoah Melodies Wind Chimes?
Shenandoah Melodies are premium, precision-tuned wind chimes made in the USA by Wind River Chimes. They are designed to deliver clear, melodic tones with a soft, natural quality, thanks to their unique redwood striker and heavy-walled aluminum alloy
tubes. - Why Are They Called Shenandoah Melodies?
The name is inspired by the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, near where Wind River Chimes was founded and where all of our chimes are still handcrafted today. The flowing tones of this collection capture the peaceful spirit of its namesake.
Wind River offers three levels of wind chime collections—Premier, Deluxe, and Classic—each designed to meet different preferences in sound, style, and budget.
- The Premier Collection, featuring Arabesque® and Corinthian Bells®, delivers the highest sound quality with thick-walled aluminum tubes, centrally pinned stringing, and ultra-high- density polymer strikers for rich resonance.
- The Deluxe Collection, home to Shenandoah Melodies®, balances affordability and quality using slightly thinner tubes and a redwood striker that produces a mellow, lasting tone.
- The Classic Collection, including Arias® and Festival®, features lighter, brighter tones with traditionally strung tubes and redwood domes and strikers
Wind River Chimes has built a reputation for craftsmanship, quality, and care. Unlike mass-produced wind chimes, every Wind River chime, including Corinthian Bells ® chimes, is a premium, hand-tuned, hand-assembled chime, proudly made in the USA.
