Product Description
This chime plays the inspiring tones heard in the opening measures of Amazing Grace. Although the melody is of unknown origin, the lyrics were penned by Englishman John Newton in the late 18th century. As a sailor aboard a slave ship, Newton underwent a spiritual awakening while in a storm at sea. Years later, after he had denounced the slave trade and become an ordained minister, it was this experience that Newton recalled when he wrote, Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound. One of our most popular tunings, this is the largest size, and thus has the lowest tone of the series. 40'' tall with 6 anodized silver aluminum tubes.

 The Answer is Blowing in the Wind January 12, 2008

Woodstock makes several beautiful chime models, many of which "play" the notes of a well-known composition. Of course, this would be the deconstructionist version, because the notes sound in a semi-random order determined by the strength and direction of the wind, and perhaps the size of the individual chimes. No matter what order, however, the familiarity of "Amazing Grace" makes whatever notes sound recognizable as a variant. The tones are clear and beautful. The chime is simple, rather than overly worked or decorous, but that is perhaps most appropriate for "AMazing Grace," anyway. A little pricier than I would like, but this makes an excellent gift that can be enjoyed on several leverls: Visually, aurally, as text, and as part of a larger indoor or outdoor environment.

I had to get this one for my collection of Woodstock Chimes. The tones are beautiful. This is quite a large wind chime and a great value.
Wonderful Amazing Grace! January 11, 2007

Very pleasant, mellow sound. I wanted a wind chime large enough to be heard but not overbearing -- this is it. I'm enjoying it.

Gave this to my daughter for her birthday. Sounds like the first notes of
Amazing Grace. Lovely!

This is will go down as one of my top 5 purchases on Amazon. This chime quite simply delivers some of the most beautiful sounds I have ever heard.
There is nothing quite like a lazy Spring afternoon relaxing to the sounds of the enchanting chime.
Highest Possible Recommendation!
