Calypso Wind Chime - 60CM

To listen absolutely! Thanks to a unique acoustic effect, it's as if the yellow bird of the song took flight!

The Calypso wind chime is tuned to the last notes of Yellow Bird, a Mills Brothers song inspired by a traditional 19th century Haitian tune. It is a tribute to Calypso, a very popular musical genre in the West Indies. Close your eyes, escape to an exotic island and let yourself be lulled by the song of the yellow bird in the plane tree...

This wind chime is part of the Magical Mystery Chimes series which follows a musical phenomenon called octave splitting. What does it consist of ? You probably know the Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Si-Do range; the "C" notes that appear at the beginning and end of the scale are actually the same note, but separated by an octave. Notes that are one octave apart are considered harmonic equivalents; when played together, the sound is extraordinarily beautiful. In the series of chimes of the Magical Mysteries, this concept is taken to the extreme since each note is combined with the corresponding double octave. This is the first time that a tuning of this type has been used in wind chimes. Do you find it hard to believe? Just listen to it!

The tuning of this wind chime is guaranteed for life.
