Description A long-lasting, high-quality wind chime designed and handcrafted for excellent musical performance. Carefully hand-tuned to a universal pentatonic (five-note) scale, it plays in concert with the breeze and is renowned for its unique patterns of mesmerising sound. Woodstock – Chimes of Earth harmonises perfectly with all of Woodstock Chimes’ Encore Collection. The perfect gift for garden lovers, the chime can be personalised by removing the windcatcher for engraving or even silk screening.  The anodised aluminium tubes of the Encore Collection ensure they won’t rust, while the eco-friendly wood finish helps protect them from the elements. About Chimes of Earth Chimes of Earth is part of a series named after components of our Solar System (Neptune, Mars, Pluto, Venus, Polaris, Mercury and Earth). Earth is sometimes called the ‘blue planet’ because water covers three-quarters of the earth’s surface when seen from space.  The name for Earth is Old English and German in origin, related to the Old Saxon ‘Ertha’, the Dutch ‘aerde’, and the German ‘erda’. Terra is a French and Latin word and isn’t part of the ‘Earth’ etymology. Woodstock Wind Chimes were created over 40 years ago by Grammy award-winning musician Garry Kvistad in New York’s Hudson Valley. The chimes are the most well-known and respected of their kind due to their design quality and world-class expertise.

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.
