Bought first set in 2011, absolutely loved them under bedroom window. Stayed out 13 years and wasn't quite diminished but decided to replace. Same quality, wonderful sound, highly recommend!

Divino el sonido, llama la atención cuando alguien llega a casa y se roza. También suena genial con el viento, son como melodías siempre distintas. Madera de calidad y tubos bien sujetos. Lo único que no me gusta tanto es que la pieza central que cuelga está estampada. Pero en conjunto feliz con la compra y el buen rollo que atrae a casa

Loving the melodic sound. Bit expensive, but looks and sounds classy.

lo trovo davvero bello e piacevole da ascoltare nella brezza; forse il pallino di legno centrale che fa da percussore avrebbe potuto essere un po' più grande in modo che possa risuonare più spesso, ma essendo facile provvedere autonomamente non è certo questo un difetto.

Très joli carillon, de petite tailles et très bon son. Exactement l'effet recherche !!! Livre dans les delais et bien emballeJe recommande ce produit

I use wind chimes not in the standard way (I live in a small flat in a social housing scheme), but I take them out to wild places and make professional grade recordings of natural soundscapes including the wind chimes. The Chimes of Mars were among the three different really small and light sets of chimes that I bought in the spring of 2013 to take out on some of my Cornwall coast path hikes, to suspend on tripods on clifftops so that I could have the chimes sounds in soundscapes of often really interesting and sometimes dramatic sea action.The Mars chimes are actually the next-to-smallest / highest-pitched of those that I bought. To my ears they are getting close to as high as a set of chimes could go while one would still be able to clearly hear and differentiate between the pitches of each note. Go anything much higher and one would hear rather undifferentiated tinklings. Their sound is more penetrating and 'carrying' than that of various other similar-size Woodstock chimes, apparently because the walls of their tubes are a little thicker relative to their diameter - which can be an advantage or a nuisance, depending on one's own situation. For my purposes I put the small chimes relatively close to the recorder and the larger ones further back, in order to get a good balance, but the Mars chimes always need to be a bit further back than the Mercury or rather larger Polaris chimes.The tuning of these chimes is to a really strange scale, which you may or may not like. I wasn't too sure of it myself at first, but it did actually come out with a strange beauty all of its own in the various clifftop soundscapes that I recorded. It also made an incredibly beautiful and musical combination with any of the pentatonic chimes, such as the Woodstock Pluto, Polaris and Mercury chimes. The only thing is that these bronze chimes are rather shrill toned. If I'd wanted the Mars chimes for more normal use I would have chosen the silver finish version, for that finish has a smoother and more refined tone. However, I deliberately chose the bronze finish version of this and the Mercury chimes in order to have some variety of tone in my chimes ensemble recordings - and I think that worked extremely well.Actually I have made available a lot of CDs of my 'Wind Chimes in the Wild' series, which include Cornish clifftop recordings some of which use the Mars chimes - all of which you can find if you Google "philip goddard e-store" (not in quotes).
