Quartal Basso Profundo Wind Chime, Heavy gauge polished stainless steel, Tempered aluminum alloy tubing, Solid polyethylene clappers , Edition Open, 427cm high by wide by deep , Music sculpture

Tough synthetic cordage is highly resistant to abrasion, ultra-violet degradation, rot and mildew. Central tube suspension with smoothly polished tube ends prevent cord abrasion typical of other, less labor-intensive suspension techniques. Heavy gauge polished stainless steel rings provide sturdy support and enduring beauty. Tempered aluminum alloy tubing is custom manufactured to our exacting specifications and will never rust. Our corrosion-protective finish preserves chime’s appearance and increases durability in hostile environments (acid rain, salt air).

Tubes are tuned to A440, standard orchestral pitch, using the latest in technology. Solid polyethylene clappers provide superior tonal quality and outdoor durability. The windcatcher, of the same finish and material as the tubes, is the ideal size, weight, and shape for optimal chime performance in 8 – 10 mph wind velocity. The windcatcher hook assembly provides simple but effective method of varying the chime’s activity level.

Quartal Basso Profundo Wind Chime is a music sculpture in an open edition, standing 427 cm high. It combines heavy-gauge polished stainless steel with tempered aluminum alloy tubing and solid polyethylene clappers. The chimes produce deep, resonant tones when moved by wind or touch. Its tall, vertical form emphasizes both presence and elegance, while the polished metal surfaces catch light and reflect surroundings. Designed for acoustic and visual impact, the sculpture balances industrial strength with melodic subtlety, inviting interaction through movement and sound.
