Wind River Chimes

After a long day, stressful week, or in times of grief, wind chimes deliver a moment of calm in a spirit of simplicity.  Their gentle notes ring in time with the wind, and remind us that we, like the wind, are part of a far larger creation. Since 2006, Jamie & Patty Baisden and the craftsmen at Wind River have been delivering moments of calm to a hectic landscape – one porch at a time.  At Wind River we work to inspire harmony, and this purpose extends beyond our livelihoods to each connection we have to the communities we serve.   

Wind River® chimes are handcrafted in Manassas Park, VA and inspired by the shores, mountains and valleys of the place we call home. They also reflect the spirit and landscapes of communities throughout the United States. From top to bottom, tubes to strikers—every Wind River® chime is made almost entirely from American-sourced materials. We use string and pipe from New York, Georgia and Florida, native hardwood from Pennsylvania, metal components from the Midwest, and sustainable, rot-resistant California redwood.

Wind River® is pleased to offer our line of fully licensed Rotary International® wind chimes. With each passing breeze, these wind chimes sing a song of harmony and hope. As members and supporters of Rotary International®, we are proud to share 10% of our gross sales of these wind chimes.

Yours in Rotary, Jamie & Patty Baisden
