Constructing Wind Chimes

 

 

 

In an effort to bring some order to over two thousand messages on Yahoo’s Windchimeconstruction message board, I have selected those that I think are the best of “just the facts” communications. This should make it easier to find the information you need. It will remain a work in progress as we continue to add to our knowledge on an almost daily basis. This information is the product of years of accumulated knowledge and experimentation of many of our members. Most people think of wind chimes as a simple construct, but we have found there are many ways to improve their performance. Our contributors are making strides to improve the design of the basic wind chime.In time you may see some of the changes as manufacturers see the benefit of improving the technology of making wind chimes.
