“Wind Chimes” A musical instrument with highest quality of frequency by: Glenn Mast

Wind chimes have long been used for a variety of reasons over the years. This ranges from warding off evil spirits to creating positive energy in a particular area. They are also known for the pleasing sounds that they create and were one of the world's first musical instruments. Numerous musicians have utilized them to influence their compositions.

Wind chimes are similar to various other percussion instruments such as tam-tams and cymbals, in terms of creating and leading to inharmonic sounds. Each chime will play at a different pitch, whilst none will play a specific note. Whenever highest quality wind chimes tube is struck the overtones do not occur in integer intervals from the fundamental frequency and consequently are thought to be inharmonic. To make up for this phenomenon highest quality wind chimes makers will hang the tubes around 1 fifth of their length, which dampens the inharmonic overtones and brings out the fundamental frequency.

With wind chimes coming in different sizes, shapes and materials, the sounds created can vary significantly. The frequency produced will rely heavily on these particular factors. High quality wind chimes add stunning decor and also soothing sounds too many back yards across the world. They are available in many types; they can be made from bamboo, glass, metal, as well as combinations of the above mentioned. These come in a number of sizes, from three-inch long designs which make a twinkling sound to contraptions three feet long that complete the yard with deep and bold ringing.

The majority of top quality wind chimes are made by means of suspending a group of tubes in a circle with a central clapper in the middle. Makers will suspend the clapper and the pipes to ensure the clapper will hit each and every tube in the center, producing a higher quality sound. The tubes can be made of metal, or of wood, and the thickness of the tube walls will affect the sound quality. Other high quality wind chimes utilize strong cylinders rather than hollow pipes. The pitch is actually controlled mainly through the length of the tube or cylinder which is normally suspended by a string from a piece of wood that holds all of the strings in place.

As opposed to other tubular devices like the pipe organ, the actual notes made by highest quality wind chimes come from the tubes themselves, instead of a column of vibrating air like in the pipe organ. Because of this the thickness of the tube, or cylinder, and its material has such a fantastic impact on the note produced by highest quality wind chimes.
