Captures the distinctive sound from over 20 coastal locations · Crafted with recycled steel
Read 544 reviews



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.

  • Each bell echoes the distinctive and familiar tones of coastal and harbor bells (Listen to the chime samples available)
  • Bell bodies last for over 20 years
  • Bells do not twist or tangle
  • While the bells are of the same design, they vary in size and weight to produce different tones. Prices vary accordingly
  • Windcatchers can be easily replaced or switched out
  • Please note: Bells are meant to rust over time; coat with polyurethane to maintain like-new appearance if desired
  • Please note: Windcatcher adds roughly 10" of height when attached to the bell
  • Please note: Like real ocean buoys, bells chime best in stronger wind

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.
