This bold, bright chime is tuned to its namesake melody, Morning Mood, from Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt Suite #1, opus 46.
This opening to the suite depicts the crisp, clean air of a beautiful desert morning. The melody is a musical palindrome; it's the same whether played backwards or forwards. As a result, the melody is recreated on the Morning Mood Chime no matter what direction the striker is rotated.
Maintenance: Every part of a Woodstock Chime is weather protected. Over time, however, those layers of protection can begin to wear. To enjoy your Woodstock Chimes for years to come, we suggest the following simple maintenance tips --
Periodically, apply a thin layer of Danish or lemon oil with a clean cloth to the hardwood parts. Regular oiling will help protect the wood and retard the natural aging process.
Woodstock Chimes tubes are made of anodized aluminum that will not rust when exposed to the elements. However, over time, the aluminum may show pitting as a result of environmental factors. Please note this will not affect the beautiful tones of your chimes. If necessary, use mild soap and water (or a foaming, non-abrasive cleanser) to clean the tubes.
