As far as my knowledge is concerned, garden wind chimes are patterned after the chimes or the musical instruments brought into play in China. Both of these have similarities in sounds, but an ordinary wind chime only requires a simple movement for producing the tones. These can be moved self or hung on the doors or windows for winds for rocking them. Different types of materials can be used in these. Chimes can be made for the gardens or these can be bought from the nearest departmental store. These wind chimes are generally available in bamboo, metal and glass. Bamboo wind chimes are usually made up of six to eight hollow tubes or rods anchored on a “roof” and arranged as layers or mobiles. They can be varnished for added protection and style. Originally wind chimes were made from small metal bells that served as accompaniment, especially during the religious ceremonies in ancient China. One of the nicest aspects to purchasing garden wind chimes is the large selection of designs that can be chosen. Most of the chimes are available in the form of tubes, but these can also be presented as bells, that work nicely during the holiday season. There is a diversity of lengths that the garden wind chimes come in, but it should be ensured that there is a space to hang the long garden wind chimes because if there is no space, there are chances that someone might hit their head on it if it is hung in a doorway too low.
