Installation & Manuals
Music of the Spheres Wind Chimes require installation on a sturdy hook, beam, or tree branch capable of supporting their weight (2-200 lbs, depending on model). Soprano and Mezzo-Soprano models can be hung with standard hooks, while Alto, Tenor, Bass, Contrabass, and Basso Profundo require reinforced supports, such as a steel beam or heavy-duty carabiner, to prevent cord fraying. The chimes should be placed in a location with 8-10 mph breezes for optimal sound, avoiding excessive wind exposure. The package includes installation instructions and a care guide, detailing setup and maintenance. In harsh climates, remove the windcatcher during storms or store indoors to prevent damage. Maintenance involves cleaning tubes with a mild detergent and inspecting cords for wear, with restringing services available for $25.00.

Restringing services are available for a $25.00 fee.
Returns: Due to their handmade nature and weight (2-200 lbs), Music of the Spheres Wind Chimes are typically non-returnable. Exchanges for defective units may be possible within 30 days, subject to restocking and shipping fees, per retailer policies.
