Clear Sky Swing Chime | D4, E4, F#4, A4, B4, D5, E5, F#5, A5: Open Air.

D4 up to A5. Two full octaves of D major pentatonic. Five notes, repeated across the range. We've intentionally omitted G and C#. Those are the two notes that create dissonance in a D scale,. It cannot be played wrong. The 27.9" D4 bar anchors it with a deep, slow-decaying fundamental. The A5 at 16.1" sits an octave and a fifth above and cuts clean through the top. Pentatonic tunings are some of the oldest ones we have, they show up independently in Chinese, West African, Andean, and Celtic traditions. Wide intervals mean the tones stay separate as they ring. Where a complete diatonic chime shimmers from adjacent-note friction, this one opens up. You hear individual voices holding their own space rather than blending into a single texture. For anyone who wants to hand a chime to a child, a client, or a room full of people and have it sound beautiful every time — this is the one.
