Outdoor Wind Chimes
71
Wind chimes can transform a simple breath of wind into an impromptu melody.
I've always enjoyed the harmonic and resonating sounds created by a quality set of wind chimes.
As a wedding gift, my husband bought me a beautiful set of tuned Corinthian wind chimes. He had them carefully and beautifully wrapped and presented to me the day before we were to be married. It was the most wonderful gift. This set the precedent for all future gift-giving between he and I.
I want to introduce you to some beautiful wind chimes I'm sure you'll enjoy. It is believed that wind chimes ward off evil spirits and bring health, wealth and happiness to anyone fortunate enough to hear it's soothing sounds.

Types of Outdoor Wind Chimes
Metal wind chimes are the most common and the most durable. Many of the metal windchimes are powder coated and come in a variety of colors.
Bamboo wind chimes provide a hollow exotic sound that some people prefer.
Glass wind chimes come in an array of colors but are obviously more prone to breakage.
Wind chime manfucturers have tried to combine the consumer's interest in collectibles with their love for wind chimes by creating mobiles made out of anything and everything collectible. You can find wind chimes made out of collectible spoons, or seashells or shapes of frogs, dragonflies, flowers, bees, etc. The possibilities are endless. Although I don't particularly deem "anything you can dangle from a string and make clank together" a wind chime, I do appreciate the creativity of the these types of wind chimes.

Me too, Frieda! I leave mine up year around. I have three sets now with my sights on several more. He really spoiled with the first set...they were really expensive and it's hard to settle for the little tinkling ones now. I don't have a bamboo set yet, so I think those will be the next ones I buy.
Windchimes that are melodic are awesome! I have a variety. I like this hub!
Thanks IslandVoice! I enjoy the melodies too!
I have a few wind chimes around my garden and love them. The tinkling noise when a breeze blows past is so delicate with some chimes.
We have a small set that we purchased two of when we bought them so that we could send one to his parents in England. It's nice knowing they listen to the same tinkling as we do, but miles apart. Thanks for stopping by Ethel!
Love the many different chimes, the biggest problem is deciding which one I want. I usually end up with more than one.
I love the wind chimes but think I should bring them in for the winter so they last longer. I've had the strings break and can never repair them right.
We have brought some of ours in for the winter too.
There I a wind chime factory in out tiny county that ships tuned chimes all around the world. (Grace Note Chimes)I did a newspaper feature about them once. The owner is a musician and was originally annoyed by the mis-tuned windchimes he had heard. His are very melodic.
They look quite similar to the ones in your top photo.
The ones in the photo are very similar to the ones I have that are tuned except mine are powder coated a teal color. I agree with the owner you mentioned, I think they should be melodic, not clanky.
I like the idea of wind chimes, but be mindful that the natural noise of trees leaves and birds are part of the environment. Hearing my neighbors garbage can lids banging like wind chimes does not make for a restful sleep.
Thanks for stopping by Hi-Jinks. I guess it depends on the windchimes because I find the ones I have to be very soothing and easy to go to sleep to.
