Quartal Tuned Wind Chime
$157.50
Built on open fourths and fifths, the Quartal scale reads the same forward and backward, a true musical palindrome. Smooth, spacious and serene, it is the sound that captivated American composers of the early twentieth century. It is also the only tuning offered in the monumental Contrabass and Basso Profundo sizes.
Choose several sizes for a deep, layered ensemble.
