As mentioned in an earlier post, we’ve added specially tuned desk chimes to our collection of sound therapy instruments. One of these is the desk chime tuned to the ancient Greek scale. This scale is not normally heard in the west. You would use this 8 tube chime for exploring and experiencing musical archeology, for healing and connecting with the ancient Greek mystery schools.

Greek music has its origins with the teachings of Hermes, the music from Orpheus and Thebes. Pythagoras and the Music of the Spheres and the mathematical study numbers and of harmonics has a very strong influence. Because we don’t normally hear music created in the this scale, the tones and harmonics may sound a little unusual at first but if you listen to and play these chimes, you may begin to feel the relationship between the tones.

This was a favorite scale of Rudolf Steiner who as you may know, was a lecturer at the Theosophical Society and the Anthroposophical Society. The Theosophical Society still uses the Greek musical scale for tuning their harps.

For those of you who have a musical background, this chimes, created by Randy Masters, is based on a D576 Hz to the higher octave 1152 HZ. It uses undertones 7 through 14.

You can listen to this and the other chimes here.

I have been contacted by someone looking for an Aqua Marine Crystal Singing bowl. This is not a standard bowl so it would have to be made special for her. When creating a new type of bowl like the aqua marine, there is a minimum of 10 bowls. If you are interested in adding an aqua marine to your set, please contact me. Aqua marine is a power crystal which is said to strengthen courage as well as for protection. For those of you who feel a connection to the water, this might be a good choice for you. You’d certainly be only 1 of 10 people in the world who’d have one.
