Who makes these wind chimes?!

Many customers email and call us because they think BuyChimes makes the wind chimes that we sell. We do not. We wish we could be that creative and imaginative and BIG, but we're simply not. We only sell U.S. chimes online. We do, however, readily point customers to the manufacturer, which is QMT Windchimes. They ARE that creative and imaginative and BIG!

And, as you might tell, we're quite partial to their chimes. They've had a commitment to keeping the company U.S.-based for years, which we love. And they've produced beautiful chimes in lovely colors and designs, while consistently keeping the high-quality workmanship for which they've been known. They're located about 15 miles west of BuyChimes, in Manassas Park, Virginia.

Here's an excerpt from the "About Us" section of their website.... "QMT Windchimes originated in the Florida craft show circuit in the early 80’s. Mike Throne camped in the back of his van and traveled to craft shows selling different products, including windchimes from a local producer. When his source for chimes dried up, Mike began to fabricate his own windchimes, with an eye toward continually improving his designs. Working during the week in a 10’ x 20’ warehouse, he produced the chimes that would be sold on the weekend. Mike was determined to offer the buying public a chime that was as beautiful to see as it was to hear. And it worked; the demand for his windchimes soon overwhelmed his ability to manufacture chimes so he took a deep breath and became a young entrepreneur following the American dream. He hired his first employees, found our facility in Manassas Park and set down roots in the community to produce windchimes for wholesale trade shows."

With such a fantastic American success story, BuyChimes has been delighted to promote their chimes for the past ten years - and from the sheer volume of sales we experience year after year, our customers are clearly delighted as well. It's a winning combination!
