These Wind chimes are created from either
solid brass rod, or brass tubing. Customers select the
brass character motifs to customize the
wind chimes, all of which have that unmistakable hand-made look. Generic motifs are offered such as the circle or triangle for a
wind vane, but most people seem to prefer more distinctive motifs, such as the hummingbird or kokopelli. All chimes come boxed.
The suspension holes drilled into the tubes and rods are located at nodal points, that area of a vibrating tube where there is no vibration. This way the cord does not dampen the sounds and the tubes don't slowly eat into the cord.
With the many precautions taken, the cord becomes virtually indestructible. All chime cord is specially custom-made, using an inert polypropylene that is totally resistant to mold, mildew, or rot. The cord is unaffected by acids, including acid rain, and uses just the right amount of ultraviolet inhibitor to prevent cracking from sunlight. There's also a strengthened core, with a tightly woven outer sheath for abrasion resistance.
