Great company
I bought this as a gift for Christmas, so the person has not received it yet. I like the sound of the bells, so I am sure she will also.
Love it!

It’s perfect sounds authentic as I live in the town this idea hails from. Well done!!
Portland Head Bell
I had one for years that final went down in our last Hurricane. After taking a New England trip and going to Portland Head lighthouse I had to get this. Beautifully made sounds wonderful just a great product.
Love my Cape Cod buoy bell
Spent summers on Cape Cod as a kid and my buoy bell takes me back, especially during the Santa Ana winds here in Southern California. This is a great product.

Enjoy the sound of the sea at home with a buoy bell. Each bell is carefully made to recreate the distinctive chime from various buoy bell locations along both coasts. The bells are made in Maine from recycled steel and built to last for at least 20 years of sea-inspired sound.
Jim Davidson was a lobsterman in Maine for years. Buoy bells chiming as he hauled in his lobster traps was a favorite sound—equal parts peaceful and melodic, and an indicator that he was safely close to harbor.
Jim was so enamored with the sound that he and his wife, May, began creating their own wind chimes to capture it. Their North Country Wind Bells are made at home in Maine and capture the tones of over 20 coastal and harbor bells.
Each location has a distinctive sound—from Bar Harbor to San Francisco—that Jim and May have carefully recreated. They started by recording as many local bells as they could. They then fine-tuned their own bells by ear until the sound was just right.
The bells and windcatchers are crafted from recycled steel by many of the locals in the Davidsons' small town, and should last for at least 20 years of coastal-inspired sound.
