The Woodstock chime is a beautiful, high-quality wind chime designed and handcrafted for excellent musical performance and longevity. It is carefully hand-tuned to a universal pentatonic (5-note) scale. The anodised aluminium tubes ensure they won’t rust, while the eco-friendly wood finish helps protect from the elements. An ideal gift for garden (and music) lovers, the wind chime comes with a removable windcatcher that can be engraved/silk screened for personalisation by your local engraver/printer. Instructions: Hang your wind chime outdoors, away from the harsher elements, in a protected area (such as a veranda or under an awning). Let the chime gently play in concert with the breeze, and allow the soft sounds to soothe your soul. About Amazing Grace Amazing Grace is one of America’s best-loved hymns. Written by English Claude Newman and poet John Newton as a young man in 1772, and published in 1779, it has played an important role in the Civil War, the Civil Rights movement, 9/11 and drug and alcohol recovery. Newton wrote the words from personal experience. In 1748, while at sea, a violent storm battered his vessel off the coast of County Donegal, Ireland. Utterly frightened, he called out to God for mercy and survived the storm. Newton wrote the hymn as a heartfelt expression to God. ‘Amazing grace! How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind but now I see.’   Technical specifications Tuning: 7th-century pentatonic (5 note) scale Total length: Medium 64cm, Large 102cm Material: Cherry finish ash wood 6 silver aluminium tubes UV-resistant nylon cord Series: Famous Melodies & Inspiration Origin: Hudson Valley, New York, US Included: Lifetime tuning guarantee   Explore the full range Woodstock Wind Chimes Shop all Woodstock Wind Chimes

About the Author

About the Author

Katia de Peyer’s first book Dancing with MySelf, Sensuous Exercises for Body, Mind and Spirit (Nucleus Publications, 1991; La Source Press, 2026) introduced her method of inner-centering through movement, hailed by Diane von Furstenberg as a whole new attitude about exercising. Her second book Enjoy Your Healing Power (La Source Press, 2025) is an intuitive, helpful guide for developing our healing power.  A ballet dancer born in Paris who lived in Spain to further her studies in flamenco, Katia moved to New York in the late sixties to start a successful career as a personal trainer. There she met the virtuoso clarinettist Gervase de Peyer in 1976.  She and Gervase married in 1980 and lived for two decades in the US and then in the UK until Gervase’s death in 2017.  Katia continues her work as a writer and healer in London and New York.
