The Chinook

The “Chinook” Lord of the mountain wind. The Chinook is an embodyment of the mischievious Chinese wind-god, “Fei Lian”. The early springtime winds in Colorado, the home of Blindworm Guitars, are called Chinook winds. Like the winds of Fei Lian, the Chinook winds cause havoc, knocking over buildings, breaking tree limbs, and causing chaos. The design of the “Chinook” incorporates both the traditional depiction of Fei Lian himself, as well as angular spirals representing both the wind and its power.
