Woodstock Chimes Pipedream with Bonus CD

The Special Needs Child this is for, loves them.

The chimes were larger than expected and had a deeper sound, which, for me, was a bonus. Good quality materials as well. Hold the sticks lightly for the best sound. Fun to play with and play simple tunes, or use it to change the resonance of a room, both work. It was well packaged and came on time.

Die beiden Röhren an den Enden des Klangspiels klingen dumpf und ohne langen Nachhall. Auch wenn man die Röhren aus dem Klangspiel herausnimmt, was leicht zu bewerkstelligen ist, klingen sie freischwingend immer noch dumpf. Das Klangspiel wurde deshalb zurückgeschickt.

This is a beautiful and exquisite instrument. If you love wind chimes, you will absolutely adore this. You know how when you enter a chime store, you just want to play with all the chimes? Well now you can, all the time, in the comfort of your own home. This instrument not only sounds great but it's easy to play. I just got mine three days ago and I can already play many songs on it. Even if you don't want to play a specific song, you can create a new one and it will sound great, trust me. This is also a great instrument for households with children as it's pretty much impossible for it to sound bad or annoying. My little one plays it all the time, she loves it and I actually love listening to her play. Relaxing, fun, easy, and beautiful! What more could you ask for?

We bought the Woodstock Pipedream for our son and daughter-in-law for Christmas thinking it would be a wonderful and relaxing stress reliever for them as they both have very demanding jobs in Washington DC. We open gifts "together" over the phone because we live in West TN. When they opened this up, our son immediately started playing it and it was hard to get him to stop so he could open the rest of his gifts! Our daughter-in-law said that it was too bad we couldn't see his face because he looked like a kid in a candy store and had the biggest smile on his face. Of course, we could hear the melodious sounds through the telephone and it was beautfiful - my husband made a comment that maybe we needed to get one for ourselves! I thought to myself he was right, we definintely needed one too and it wasn't too long after that I ordered ours!! It now sits on our dining room table and just about every day, one of us - if not both - can be heard playing it at some time or another. We both love playing it - whether learning one of the songs that came in the small music book, making our own music or just trailing the stick over the 8 pipes - hearing the soothing sounds always brings a smile to our faces. An added bonus to our Woodstock Pipdream is the "Music for a Pipedram" CD that came with it! "Kids" of all ages will enjoy owning a Woodstock Pipdream! In fact, next Christmas we plan on getting one for our other son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

Die Töne im mittleren Bereich klingen gut, die tiefen und hohen Töne klingen dagegen kaum. Es ist relativ zu teuer
