North Country Wind Bells - Maine Buoy Bells

Our North Country Wind Bells AKA Maine Buoy Bells include a free hanging bracket (a $12.49 value) and produce pleasant memories of the sounds of coastal and harbor bells. Every North Country Maine Buoy Bell Wind Bell is shaped from a high grade steel known as Cor-TenŽ. It is widely used on bridges, guard rails and buildings because it requires no maintenance. These characteristics make it ideal for Maine Bell Buoy Wind Chimes, which are designed to hang outdoors year-round, and will not twist, tangle or break. As they weather, the steel turns a rich rust color. This natural oxidization doesn't signal a deterioration of the bell, since Cor-TenŽ will never flake, peel or rust out. Instead, it tempers with age, creating clearer, more resonant tones. This patina both preserves and improves a bell's tones over the years.

Quality materials, fine workmanship and family pride ensure that these rugged buoy bells will endure to become individual family heirlooms. Even hung far from the ocean, their response to a gentle breeze carries pleasant reminders of ocean swells and the constant vigil sounded by coastal and harbor bells.

In a year or two, sometimes sooner, depending on the environment, Maine Bell Buoy Bell Wind Bell Chimes will begin to take on a weathered appearance. This rich, emerging patina of rust can be made deeper and more lustrous with an annual rubbing of plain salad oil. Or, if you prefer your wind bells to remain black, they may be given a quick spray of flat black metal paint. Either way, they will endure outdoors, year-round, for a lifetime.
