Wind Chimes

Wind Chimes are chimes constructed from suspended tubes, rods or other objects and are often made of metal or wood. Wind Chimes are usually hung outside of a building or house intended to be played by the wind. Sound can be produced when the tubes or rods come in contact with a suspended central clapper, in the form of a ball or horizontal disk, or each other. Wind Chimes may be used to observe changes in wind direction, depending on where they are hung. The Microhammer wind chime collection is made from a selection of different wind chimes, however sampled in detail so the user can control the amount of sound and use them as percussive instruments.
