Default Wind Chimes

Yes, chimes, bells, gongs and such are all used in monastic life to represent
the vibration of the universe. They represent causation and affliction in that
when they touch, they make a noise.

Some day I will get a large gong. By large, I mean about 24 inches.

Thanx. Found a wonderful source online. The chimes almost sound like they
have an organ in the background.
thank you again.

I have heard about a windchime that is sort of tuned???? Don't know what
they are called. Can anyone help me?

Thanks a bunch

There are wind chimes which have a certain resonance in their tone. They

aren't
tuned in the way a guitar is tuned, but are placed with other lengths of
whatever the chime is made of to produce a melodic tone in conjunction

with the
other notes of the chimes. The larger the chimes, the deeper the tones.

I made
my own using copper pipe. I used 1.5" pipe cut at different lengths. I

don't
know if mine are "tuned" to be harmonic or not, but they don't sound like

those
annoying tinkly small ones.
