As far as my knowledge is concerned, these lovely objects also have a practical application in determining the direction of the wind. Accordingly, if a chime is positioned on the southern side of a house or solid structure only a south wind will move it. This would alert dwellers to a shift in weather patterns. The traditional, percussion wind chime looks pretty basic but much precision is required in the design. In order to make one a wood tops are shaped, sanded and oiled in order to water-proof it from the outdoor elements.Let me be frank that the wood tops can be made from a wide variety of durable woods and this doesn’t affect the sound that the chime makes. Then, wholes need to be made in the tops in order to hang the strings which are attached to the chimes. The chimes are then cut. These chimes can be made of any of the aforementioned materials. Many of the modern wind chimes use aluminum to make the sound but modern novelty examples are made with copper or bronze. Furthermore, non-metallic chimes made of bamboo, glass or shells are often used, each creating a different distinctive sound. Wind chimes also vary hugely in size and can be made small enough to use as earrings or, in some cases the chimes can be made up to nearly 2 metres in length for a deep resonance. Whatever form the product takes, the sound that it creates is obviously of paramount importance.
