Wind chimes bring joy and calming sounds to any space. They're just as delightful indoors as they are outside. The array of designs ranges from the artful to the heavenly and everything in between. You may also enjoy wind spinners that can accompany your chiming collection with their silent beauty and ethereal appeal.

The traditional sets feature tubes in many types of material including aluminum, bamboo, copper and pewter. These offer an arrangement of acoustical sounds that are matched by incredible styling. Each wind chime is carefully crafted to provide the utmost in relaxation and inspiration. The clapper placement, as well as tube length will affect the pitch and tone. Shorter tubes create higher pitches while longer sets are more mellow and deep. The more tubes in the arrangement, the more notes you'll hear. The sail, which dangles below the tubing is the piece that catches the breeze to create motion.

Finish colors and material add to the style. In addition to metals and woods, glass and ceramics are popular components as are shell designs. However, if you want a more melodious sound, metals remain the best choice. These can offer a greater sequential tuning and they're more weather resistant than other types.

Bamboo is nature-friendly and creates resonating sounds that are sometimes exotic in tone. You might hear them and think of gently falling rain in a faraway forest. In time, the tubing may split, but this will not affect the satisfying sounds. Bamboo is appealing, too, for its unique spirit. Due to natural variations, no two tubes will ever produce exactly the same notes.

Glass and ceramic chimes offer the widest range of themes and designs that are true works of art. They are often quite colorful and can be hung in a room or on the patio. These typically feature a stained glass or painted ceramic motif at the top and metal or combination materials below. Shells are also colorful and can go indoors or outside, but should be protected from high winds. You can attach these from the sides of a home or garage with extended hooks that allow for movement. These are sometimes preferred by those living in a region where gentle breezes are common. If you expect higher winds, then larger sturdier chimes are recommended. In fact, most of the metal designs are geared to be best enjoyed in winds between 8-10 miles per hour.

Centuries ago, chimes were utilized for their reported healing effects and spiritual impact. Today, chimes are also a component of Feng Shui decorating. Many individuals believe they help sweep away the negative vibes in a space, but they must be in tune to create positive energy flow. Tones should be harmonious, but must also be calming rather than bold or brash. Hang them on the patio or porch or from a tree branch for best effect; recommendations also include the northwest corner of a room.

Wind chimes are favorites for gift giving, too. Everyone loves the tinkling sounds and visual delights that come with each unique and beautiful piece. Any occasion is perfect for presentation from birthdays to engagements and housewarming events.

At the Wind Chime Studio, each piece is measured by the standard top to sail length and not by tube length. This will help you decide the best hanging location. Whether you're searching for a traditional, subtle shape with delicate, fluted melodies or expecting an orchestra full of sounds, you'll find just the right chime to fit your space. We offer the best in chimes that will be enjoyed and appreciated for both style and gracious tones.
