Inspired by the Chicago Cubs’ World Series win in 2016, this toll is tuned to the opening notes of Take Me Out to the Ball Game, a Tin Pan Alley tune written in 1908 by Jack Norworth and put to music by Albert Von Tilzer. The melody was first played at a Major League Baseball game amid the fourth round of the 1934 World Series. These days it’s sung at ball games in North America, continually amid the seventh-inning stretch, with the group energetically chiming in. Over 30-years back, the first Woodstock Chime was made by originator and proprietor Garry Kvistad from an aluminum folding chair he found in a landfill. As an expert artist and instrument planner, he was intrigued by the Scales of Olympos, a seventh century pentatonic scale that can’t be played on an advanced piano. Garry had the plan to trim and tune the lounger ring cylinders to the correct recurrence of the antiquated scale. The subsequent Chimes of Olympos was the first Woodstock Chime is as yet one of our top of the line wind rings. Garry and his better half Diane established Woodstock Percussion, Inc. in 1979 and it remains a family-claimed business in New York’s Hudson Valley.
