The Chime that inspired Gulf Coast Wind Bells

The Gulf Coast Wind Bells story started at a point in my life when music was on pause for me. As a lifelong lover of the act of making music, there wasn’t a time that music wasn’t actively a part of my daily life. But my zeal to pass on the passion caused me to gift my guitar and then eventually my keyboard to new musicians. As a result I found myself without any instruments and that zeal and passion was losing momentum and was eventually placed on the back burner in my heart. But a friend’s vintage wind chime sparked something new in my inner man. Its beautiful E chord and simple materials fascinated me. I dove deep into the science of chimes, thanks to the free knowledge from Lee Hite’s resources. From that moment, I was hooked, and now I’m all about sharing the magic and harmony of chimes with everyone. Now, At Gulf Coast Wind Bells, we aim to create chimes that resonate on a personal level. Each piece is distinct, yet together they reveal the beauty of natural frequencies. The wind plays; we shape. Our goal is to offer everyone a personal moment of calm, connection, and wonder.
