Learning factory woodstock professional#
In addition to his work at Woodstock Chimes, Garry is also a professional musician. Garry's metallophone experiment was so successful that he had the idea to cut and tune lawn chair tubes to create windchimes, and Woodstock Chimes was born! Being an ecologically-minded recent college graduate on a tight budget, Garry found the materials for his metallophone at the local landfill - it was made from the aluminum tubes of discarded lawn chairs. Using the tubes from discarded lawn chairs, Garry crafted a metallophone, a xylophone-like instrument made with metal instead of wood. As a benefit of the job he could take courses, so Garry enrolled in one that taught techniques for making musical instruments. Garry was teaching at Northern Illinois University. In the early 70s he began what would become Woodstock Chimes in, of all places, an Illinois landfill. Garry studied music, art and physics in the pursuit of building musical instruments. Garry Kvistad - The Talent Behind the Design and Tuning of All Woodstock Chimes Each chime has its own "voice" that contributes to a mood or atmosphere - listen to find the one that speaks to you. Since 1979, GRAMMY award-winning musician and instrument designer Garry Kvistad has tuned Woodstock Chimes based on famous melodies and scales heard around the world. When listening to a Woodstock Chime, you hear a perfectly tuned musical instrument, played by the wind. Woodstock Chimes are the original musically-tuned, high-quality windchime that people ask for by name.
