The wind makes the music. We make the instrument.
Two music teachers and one question
UpBlend started with Ryan and Andrea, two music teachers from Canada. The idea grew in their own backyard, after they moved into their forever home and couldn't find outdoor pieces they truly loved.
They spent their days teaching people to listen, and they kept noticing the same thing outside: most wind chimes don't play music. They clang.
So they asked a simple question. What if a wind chime were tuned like a real instrument?
Every UpBlend chime is built around a musical scale and hand-tuned, so whichever tubes the wind happens to strike, the notes belong together. No sour notes. No harsh clatter. Just a melody that changes with the weather.
