How To Make Wind Chimes

Wind chimes actually originate from the chimes used as musical instruments in Ancient China for religious affairs and ceremonies. Other neighboring Eastern Asian countries adopted them as a powerful Feng Shui element. The music they produce as the wind blows is said to be transformed into energy that can bring in health, wealth, and prosperity.

Everyone can make wind chimes. They can be made using materials aside from the commonly used bamboo, metal, shells or glass; you can also use coconut, plastic, natural stones, steel, or ceramics that can be shaped and positioned in various forms, styles, and designs. Other materials can also be combined and can be arranged as lanterns or mobiles.

Handy Tips in Making Wind Chimes

It is preferable to use hollow wood tubes or rods in making wood wind chimes. You can have them painted or varnished for added protection and style. Wind chimes made from wood can be easily exposed to the negative effects of sunlight and harsh weather, which can speed up their damage. However, choosing the right types of materials can maximize their full use.

There are various types of glass materials that you can use in making glass wind chimes, ranging from simple used bottles, crystal and glass beads to stained glass, vintage glasswares, and depression glass. The string that secures the pieces of glass together must be of good durable quality or else you may end up with brittle string connections that can destroy or shatter your glass wind chimes.

Wind chimes made from metal can produce deep rich sound tones, although the sound may also depend on the position of the components, the manner of stringing the materials together, or the thickness of the metals.

Be sure to prepare all the materials needed before you start with your wind chimes project. You can pattern the wind chimes after designs in newspapers or magazines, or you can experiment and have your own style simply by using your imagination and creativity.

The Science Behind Wind Chimes

Wind chimes have come a long way since their banging, clanging days of old. Today's precision-tuned wind chimes produce a melody as inviting, sweet, and clear as the song sung by pristine waters cascading down a mountain side on a hot summer's day. That didn't happen by accident. More than an enhancement to home décor and garden yard décor, a quality wind chime is crafted using a scientific approach to achieve the best sound possible.

The lengths and placements of tubular pipes might look as though they were put together haphazardly. In reality, their placement is dependant upon where each pipe will vibrate most when struck by the clapper.

Areas of the pipe called "anti-nodes" resonate with a clearer, truer sound. These special points are found at each end of the pipe, as well as in the center. String placement is also important. Holes for the string are drilled where the pipe vibrates least. This is known as the "node of vibration."

That eye-catching wind chime hung from a tree limb to complete garden yard décor and landscape design is more than just lovely. It is a high precision instrument that joyously plays nature's song. It is conduit to feng shui philosophy, based on the invisible yet tangible presence of universal energy flowing throughout our environment.

Wind chimes sound best when tuned to the pentatonic scale, the same used as the black keys on a piano. This type scale is best for generating pleasing but random notes - like those generated by the wind. Type of material used is also important. Some materials provide a clearer sound than others. For decorative purposes, the pipes on some wind chimes are made to look like copper. Some clappers are made from metal, some from wood, or another material to produce variations of sound, different from one another.

Besides making harmonious sounds generated by the force of air current, the wood and metal used in the production of wind chimes further enhances their connection to the feng shui philosophy and the importance of elements.

A wind chime is among the most perfect gifts for Mother's Day. They also make meaningful anniversary gifts, and great personalized housewarming gifts. That is because they not only enhance home decorating and add interest to garden yard décor. They also are symbolic of harmony and peace...important elements of any relationship.

A quality set of tuned wind chimes can be found in lawn and garden stores, department stores, and some specialty shops. For your best selection and competitive pricing, however, purchase wind chimes on line.

Wind chimes...a unique and lovely way to set the tone for peace and harmony, while adding beauty and charm to your home or yard.

Wind Chimes - Origin and History of Windchimes

Windchimes are becoming more and more popular these days, not only in Asian countries but also in Western countries including here in the US. The main reason for this is the growing popularity of Feng Shui. We all know that the windchime produces melodious music which is relaxing for our mind. A study of the history of the windchime would show that the music was not the only reason why people hung windchimes in their homes centuries earlier.

Historians believe that people used the windchime for other reasons also. The most important one of course, was it was believed in Asian countries that the sound of chimes wards away bad spirits from our homes and invites good spirits. They are believed to bring us good health and good luck. Feng Shui which literally translates to wind-water, recommends using a windchime to balance the energies produced by the various forces. It attracts good energy and wards off bad energy.

But superstitions and beliefs aside, our ancestors used the windchime for another very practical reason, namely, weather forecasting. As we all know, in ancient times, there were no sophisticated equipments to predict wind patterns, storms etc. So, it is believed that people hung these windchimes in places where wind can pass through. By noticing a small change in the melody produced by these windchimes, they were able to predict which direction the wind was blowing from and the intensity with which it was blowing. Stronger winds and hence more chimes, indicated that a storm was brewing. This was particularly useful for fishermen and people living along coastal region as it warned them to not go to the sea and maybe saved their lives. Our ancestors were so intelligent as to use a simple chime producing instrument as a weather predicting tool!

As you can see, the wind chime has been used for various reasons. Nowadays stores even use windchimes to inform them when a customer enters! Whatever the reason, even if one is not superstitious, the windchime can always be hung in a home just as a decorative piece and for the melodious music that it produces.

Indoor Wind Chimes

Nothing can beat the soothing hum of indoor wind chimes in helping relax frayed nerves after a stressful day. Imagine sitting or lying down on your favorite couch and listening to their calming sound. Feel the tension leave your body and be energized by the refreshing tones made by these chimes.

The ability of wind chimes to create relaxing sounds depends on their composition. Chimes that are shaped like a tube produce the most soothing and pleasing sounds. Others that are made up of solid pieces hanging from nylon threads or small chains generally create a less appealing sound.

What causes this difference? The pleasing sound created in some chimes is created in an "interior space," usually a tube-shaped chamber. Here, sound is multiplied by the vibrations inside the tube. These vibrations make the sound fuller and more soothing. The sound cannot be multiplied without this interior space. So while chimes made up of two hanging pieces of metal could produce sound, the effect isn't the same. This is why the typical tube-shaped wind chimes are the most popular types.

Some modern chime makers have produced finer and more technically advanced versions of indoor chimes. There are some with tubes playing specific types of notes, representing various types of music from different cultures. From Japanese Zen music to the Greek pentatonic scales, there is now a wider array of wind chimes to liven up your home. They can also be placed outdoors and can be used to decorate your lawn, garden, or pond. Designs range from unique fish chimes that give off a gentle sound when hit by the wind, to chimes that have crystals shaped like birds and unicorns.

To calm harried bodies and tired minds, take your pick from various indoor wind chimes. Your mind and body will surely be recharged and ready to face new challenges.
