Default Wind Chimes

It's been a long time, but I once saw on a trip across the US with my folks a
place where a guy lived on open ranch type land. He had put up tall poles and
strung cables from them, in the wind the cables made their sounds. Each cable a
tone of it's own and you could tell by the tones just how fast the winds where
blowing. He said if you heard the deepest note of all, you had to get to cover
as it would take a 150mph wind to make that tone!

towards an east that would not know another dawn.
But elsewhere the stars were still young and the light of morning
lingered: and along the path he once had followed, man would one day go
again."

Why not a "Mono chime" just the one pipe and nothing else for those that
like a quiet garden.

Wonder if anyone has tried an Aeolian harp in the garden?
