How Do You Make A Wind Chime With Metal Tubes?
Across centuries and cultures, wind chimes have remained fashionable for their beauty and distinctive harmonies. Used primarily today for decorative purposes, wind chimes are incorporated into Feng Shui design to restore peace to both mind and body; the timbre and pulsation of their tone is believed to diminish anxiety and soothe the psyche, bringing balance to the garden and producing an overall healing effect. Learning how to make a wind chime with metal tubes can add a bit of style and harmony to any garden. Choose your materials based on the desired style and sound. Malleable metals, such as copper, produce softer sounds; rigid metals, like steel, create louder tones. Use a small piece of wood or a beautiful stone as a clapper (the part of the chime that knocks the tubes when the breeze blows). For hanging the pipes, monofilament fishing line is exceptionally strong and less visible than string. Saw or cut six individual tubes from the metal pipes. Make the shortest pipe 18 inches
