Gifts for Music Lovers

Gifts for People Who Are Hard to Buy For

Gifts for the Heavy-Hearted
Whether it's for someone who has recently experienced loss, or for someone who needs an extra reminder to take care of themselves, these items inspire inner harmony when life feels chaotic or challenging:
- Corinthian Bells 36” – one of our bestselling chimes because it's not too big and not too small–the sound is very rich for not being a big chime. This versatility makes it a great gift for anyone’s space. Additionally, the engraving options give you the chance to get personal and specific–something that could make a big difference for someone with a broken heart or burdened spirit.
-
Arabesque 50” – one of our bestselling sounds because its pitch range is very close to normal speech, like Corinthian Bells 50”. Stylistically, this chime is very beautiful, but even more, the sound will be a comfort and inspiration to anyone feeling down this year.
- Meditation Chime – for anyone needing a little extra spark of inspiration, support, and serenity, our new meditation chimes ring out one pure, simple tone with Wind River’s signature, enduring resonance.
