Music of the Spheres

The humble beginnings: August, 1989, in the gifted mind of classically trained musician Larry Roark.  With only a few hand tools, some electrical conduit, an electronic guitar tuner and the sure knowledge that a windchime could be tuned to symphonic-quality accuracy, Larry went into his garage and created a new musical instrument. He began marketing “Music of the Spheres” chimes immediately at Austin’s Renaissance Market and Texas Renaissance Festival near Houston alongside his photography. His chimes were hugely successfully from the start. Over the years, Larry perfected the array of pitch ranges, the offerings of musical scales, the design and materials ,and the distinctive trade dress of matte black tubing with silver accents and a curved diamond-shaped windcatcher, now protected by the United States patent and trademark office. Larry was killed by a drunk driver on March 6, 2001, but Music of the Spheres continues to realize his vision of world peace, one backyard at a time®, never straying from his idea of producing a symphonic-quality musical instrument for the wind to play.

The value of such a beautifully crafted instrument playing tones of such incredible clarity with such a rich sustain speaks for itself. It says “I am the Stradivarius of windchimes®”!
