Grandé San Lorenzo Mission Wind Bell: 30-Inch Heavy-Gauge Hand-Forged Acoustic Sculpture
An Architectural Statement in Sound Created by master craftsman Marc Staples, the Grandé San Lorenzo was engineered for those who require a more substantial visual and acoustic presence. While it retains the clean, Modern Southwest lines of the original, this iteration is scaled for expansive courtyards, mature oak limbs, and high-ceilinged porticos. It is a hallmark of Modernist Alchemy, transforming industrial steel into a grounding, soulful focal point.
Enhanced Acoustic Profile: Deep Resonance The Grandé is not just larger; it is louder. The increased mass of the heavy-gauge steel body allows for a deeper, more resonant frequency that carries across open landscapes without losing its earthy, percussive warmth.
-
The Mechanism: Features a precision-weighted striker designed to engage the larger surface area, providing a consistent atmospheric backdrop even in light breezes.
Artisan Craftsmanship & Living Finish Each Grandé San Lorenzo is individually hand-wrought at the Lago Luna Studio in Virginia.
-
Living Patina: The steel is treated with our signature "Torched Copper" finish—a reactive, chemically-applied patina that draws out an iridescent spectrum of rich ambers, burnt oranges, and deep obsidian.
-
Master Craftsman Authenticity: Every bell bears the artist’s monogram—a small "M" hand-stamped onto the windsail—guaranteeing its provenance as a Marc Staples original.
