Have you considered garden wind chimes for your home but not sure which ones to buy? There are many different wind chimes to choose from for your home or your garden, but you need to keep a few things in mind before you purchase one. Having a wind chime or even multiple chimes can give completeness to your home or outdoor garden because every time the wind blows, a song radiates through the tubes.
The first thing you need to consider when buying these chimes is the materials, many people assume bamboo is the best wind chimes, but the metal materials last much longer outdoors, especially if you live in a rainier climate with more humidity because the bamboo will eventually warp and crack. In addition, the metal or bamboo can have different tones depending on the thickness and length.
One of the nicest aspects to purchasing one is the large selection of designs you can choose. Most chimes come in tubes, but you can also find them as bells, that work nicely during the holiday season. The bell chimes have different thickness and designed so that when the wind blows on them, the combination of tones is lovely. The tube chimes, also are made to make different sounds when the wind gently bounces them into each other. Tiny tubes make a higher pitched sound while the long fatter tubes make a deeper sound when they hit each other in the wind.
There is a variety of lengths that the garden chimes come in, but you should make sure that you have the space to hang the long ones because if not, someone might hit their head on it if it is hanging in a doorway too low. In addition, keep in mind that longer chimes tend to make more noise when they bang against each other, especially if you live in a windy climate.
One of the nicest aspects to garden chimes is they come with a variety of tubes and the more tubes, the more melodies it is capable of playing. Therefore, if you want several tunes, purchase them with several tubes, or you can purchase more than one to create a beautiful mood and atmosphere in your garden.
Lastly, garden wind chimes all have a sail, which is the part of the chime that will catch the wind and ultimately move the tubes to make the melodies. It is the size of the sail that makes it chimes begin moving in the breeze, some sails are extremely sensitive and others are requires a few miles an hour of wind to make the chimes being making melody. There are many parts of the wind chimes to consider when you are buying one or more for your garden, they are beautiful and truly, a time-tested tradition that people have been using to make wind-music for hundreds of years.
