The clanky sounds of cheap bamboo or the high pitched screeching of tiny metal chimes are not pleasant. I have two sets of tuned chimes in my garden that are 1" diameter. They both have 6 chimes that are tuned as a set, but they are also tuned when heard together. One set has longer chimes than the other, so when heard together the chords are much richer.
I know it sounds bougie as hell, but it's really quite a nice effect.
- aaarrm 10mo agoWhere did you get them if you don't mind me asking Also do you know the material of the metals? I wonder if it'd be worth it to have them in different metals for different timbres. Like two different instruments

- SoftTalker 10mo agoDo they stay (relatively) in tune with temperature changes?
- dylan604 10mo agoI'm in Texas, so we have warm, hot, hotter. I've never noticed a difference from temp changes. Whether it has an effect or not, I haven't noticed.
- phkahler 10mo agoThat seems like an argument for using the same material. Different metals will expand more or less with temperature variations. If they all chance a fixed percentage the tonal ratios should be preserved.
