Wind chimeFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.Wind chimes or Aeolian chimes are often hollow or solid metal or wooden tubes which are usually hung outside of a building and are intended to be played by the wind, which causes the chimes to strike each other or a metal, wood, or rubber ball which may be hung in the center. Wind chimes produce inharmonic (as opposed to harmonic) spectra, although if they are hung at about 1/5th of their length (22.4%) the higher partials are dampened and the fundamental is brought out. This is common practice in high quality wind chimes, which are also usually hung so the center ball strikes the center of the wind chime's length. Frequency is determined by the length, width, thickness, and material. There are formulas that help predict the proper length to achieve a particular note, though a bit of fine tuning is often needed. Wind chimes are thought to be good luck in Africa. Chimes are also made of materials other than metal or wooden tubes or rods. Many people accept bamboo, stones, horseshoes, mechanics tools, pvc pipe, glass, seashells, old silverware, etc. as chimes. The sounds these make are not tunable to specific notes and range from pleasant tinkling to dull thuds. The feeling seems to be that if it is moved by the wind and makes a noise, it is a wind chime.

| n some areas of the world chimes are used to predict the weather changes. For instance if the wind comes from the north or north west it may mean a storm or colder weather is on its way. If a chime is positioned on the north side of the house so only a north wind will move it, it can alert the inhabitants to a weather change. A south wind could mean milder temperatures are on their way, so the chime is mounted on the south side. |

History of the Wind Chime Perhaps the root of the wind chime lies in ancient China where an instrument called a “chime” was used to create music. The chime was a collection of different sized bells, each with a different tone. It was fitting, then, that the earliest use of elaborate wind chimes was in Asia to decorate temples and pagodas. Asians began decorating their homes with wind chimes and eventually the use of wind chimes spread to other parts of the world. It’s believed to have been introduced into the western world through the teachings of Feng Shui. The Importance of Wind Chimes in Feng Shui Wind chimes are believed to have healing powers and to enhance the mind, spirit and body of the whole person. Tubular wind chimes, in particular, are said to enhance the Chi of a home. The number of tubes and the material of the wind chime are very important to Feng Shui beliefs. Steel and brass tubes represent the metal element and are best suited for placement in north, northwest or west corners. The number of tubes on the chime will change the purpose. 6 or 8 tubes will give you luck but if you wish to avoid bad luck you should use a chime with only 5 tubes. Bamboo and coconut wind chimes represent the wood element and should be placed in the southern corner to bring fame and the east or southeast to create luck. If you place metal chimes in the south corner (wood element) you are asking for trouble because metal destroys wood. The preferred number of bamboo rods is 3 or 4.
Mid and high quality chimes are hand-tuned, the tubes are thick and one can play a tune on those of highest quality by striking each tube like the keys on a piano. Deepest tones come from the largest tubes and highest tones come from the shortest.
