    I can’t stand most wind chimes and my father-in-law loves them.

    That said, I was at a friend’s house and he had some chimes that were deeper with some sort of wooden or ceramic resonance and I absolutely loved them.

    They helped me understand what others like about them.

      I made some wind-chimes out of thick electric conduit one year for mothers day.

      Larger diameter and length made for deeper sound, and by simply wrapping a rubber band near one of the resonance points you can greatly reduce excess noise until you reach desired levels of reverb.

      I’d like to make a deeper set someday but I’d have to put it on some kind of timer so I can flip a switch, have it chime away for an hour, and then go quiet again.

      I like them, but in limited amounts. And I can’t stand high pitched ones.

        Sweet. I have dreamed of making a low freq set for a while. Maybe a retirement project idk. If I go too low that would probably be really obnoxious without sound deadening. Hate to have people’s dishes vibrating down the street lol

      I do like the deeper ones. I saw a set once where the largest was about 5 or 6 feet tall and 8-12" diameter.
