Woodstock ChimesHWLC Large Heroic Windbell - Antique Copper, Brown, 40-Inch

After reading reviews I thought this could be good so I purchased from Amazon, arrived after 4 days, wasn't disappointed reading reviews saying heavy wind needed, it didn't quite need that for it to ring out, Lovely rich tone and a pleasure to hear this item is heavy make sure of a good fixing sit back and enjoy.

I love the sound of this bell, it’s very mellow and calming, however after just a week hung up outside, there are rust spots where the weld for the hook is and also on the hook itself, so not so robust, if your tempted by one, I’d suggest hanging it somewhere with a bit of shelter from the rain.I opted to use some copper hammerite paint to stop further rust on the affected paint.

I wanted a deep melodic chime in my garden and this Heroic Bell produces a sound reminiscent of a shipping buoy far out in the deep ocean or a church bell far across the hills and valleys.I hung the bell high up in a tree, the branches and foliage of which protect it from strong sharp blasts of wind. As a result the chimes tend to be gentler, emitting a soft melodic sound giving this sense of distance. Visitors have remarked on it thinking a distant church bell was ringing. Perfect.The sound is almost haunting yet evocative and would complement any garden. The construction of the bell is robust, waterproof and I'm sure it will last many years. Well worth the cost if you value your garden chimes.

Awesome. Bought myself one and loved it so much I got my bro one as a wedding present. They were mega pleased. Quality made, weighs a ton. Sounds awesome ! Takes a fair bit of wind but at least my bro knows when it's time to go windsurfing. Top items these and a fair price compared to others. Now I want the extra large but can only find in USA. Love mine. Hangs a beauty off my summer house.

This is a beautiful bell, not so much a chime. It has a deep tone, much like the Buddhist bells in the temples in Thailand. You can check out what this and other Woodstock chimes sound like by searching for them on Youtube. The bigger the bell, the better the sound (in my opinion).

I love both the tone and quality of this wind chime, as others have said it sounds as if it was a fair distance away this adds to the appeal, a very pleasing sound which needs a fair gust of wind to chime, so it does not drive you crazy going off every 10 seconds

Lovely deep sounding wind chime, a different set up to the usual multi tube chimes which sometimes get tangled up.It’s different, I love it.

Really pleased with this chime. A very distinctive chime. It is well made which is handy as we live by the coast.
