San Lorenzo Mission WindBell™: Modern Southwest Resonance

Elevate your sanctuary with the soulful, grounded presence of the San Lorenzo Mission Bell. As the centerpiece of the Mission Windbells™ Collection, this handcrafted instrument bridges the gap between Modern Southwest aesthetics and the architectural legacy of the American frontier.

Designed for the curated landscape, the San Lorenzo Windbell brings a sense of Modern Heritage to contemporary gardens, private courtyards, and covered verandas.

Acoustic Profile: Earthy, Midrange Timbre
Unlike the high-pitched shimmer of mass-produced aluminum chimes, the San Lorenzo is engineered for an upper-midrange, percussive timbre.

The Sound: A rich, earthy midrange tone that resonates with a "soulful" quality rather than a metallic ring.

The Mechanism: Features a precision-weighted striker designed to engage even in light breezes, providing a consistent atmospheric backdrop for meditation or relaxation.

Artisanal Craftsmanship & Living Finish
Part of the Art-in-Metal-Mediums movement, each bell is a unique work of functional sculpture.

Material: Hand-fabricated from heavy-gauge architectural steel for lifetime durability.

Bespoke Patina: Treated with our signature Torched-Copper finish, a living surface that evolves naturally, deepening in character as it interacts with your local environment.

Provenance: Every bell is handcrafted at the Lago Luna Studio in Virginia. Each windsail bears Marc Staples’ monogram—a small "M"—to guarantee its authenticity as a Marc Staples original.

Historical Narrative: The Frontier Spirit
The San Lorenzo pays homage to the Mission San Lorenzo de la Santa Cruz (est. 1762). It captures the resourcefulness of early frontier artisans who melted down heirloom copper vessels to cast bells for their communities. This design embodies that same spirit of rustic beauty and resilient craftsmanship.
