Bouy bell
Quality workmanship.
LOVE, LOVE
I love these wind chimes - love the sound they make. Purchased two for the front and back.
Love the tone
This buoy bell is beautiful . I got the Nantucket and it is well made and heavy. The only thing is it needs a strong wind, so it doesn’t chime as much as my other chime. When it does, we love it.
Beautiful
We just love our Bouy Bell. So well made.
Beyond our Expectations
We couldn’t be happier with our purchase. So well made. And the tone is just beautiful. Highly recommend.

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.
