These magical little hummingbirds hover in the breeze. From butterflies to blue whales, the earth teems with life. Areas that sustain life are called habitats, and each habitat is part of an interconnected system that makes the richness of our life on Earth possible. Our Woodstock Habitats series celebrates the variety of nature around us. Made of cast metal, these designs incorporate some of our favorite animals and other reminders of nature which can enhance your habitat. The art of casting metal has been around for thousands of years. When heated to extremely high temperatures, metal will reach a molten state and can be poured into a mold. In this way, the ancients were able to create items of both enormous utility and great beauty. The same basic processes are used in foundries today. Started in 1979, Woodstock Percussion is a family-owned business located in New York’s Hudson Valley. Woodstock Chimes are precision tuned, high quality windchimes created by Grammy Award winning musician Garry Kvistad. Woodstock Percussion products are designed in New York State and manufactured around the world. Woodstock representatives visit the production facilities frequently to ensure their high standards are met; the facilities are clean and organized and the employees are paid fair wages while being treated with dignity and respect. Woodstock chimes are both kinetic and musical, performing beautifully without the need of fossil fuels. The result is simplicity and sustainability as they are powered by the wind which is the creation of the heat from the sun – the most sustainable of all energy. Woodstock has been creating chimes that are the choice of discerning customers for over 30 years.
