- From leehite.org/Chi... A demonstration in answer to some of the questions regarding wind chime loudness and why the rich sound from a wind chime may not sound as rich at a distance. This can be useful to assist the appropriate note selection when selecting a set of wind chimes.
lee your wind chime guide is absolutely amazing! i cant even imagine the time it must have taken you to break chimes down to such a science but i thank you for it! you have taken all the guess work out of building wind chimes and they sound wonderful!
Thanks and glad to hear the information has been useful and made you work easier. They are a fun activity to be involved with.
Thank you so very much for having done this!! I have been wanting to build a very large outdoor chime for years and thanks to you I now have the confidence to try and build one. Very much appreciated
Glad it helped Terry. Let me know if issues come up needing an answer. . . .Lee
Thank you for sharing your research. Your wind chime web site is a wonderful plethora of information. And this video is a great reference for intonation from your different examples of metals and materials.
I am looking forward to making my own wind chimes.
Thanks John, glad the information has been useful. When I began this project I had no idea how intriguing chimes could be and how much there was to learn. I am still learning :) Send me a picture when you finish, I would love to see what you come up with.
I AM A WIND CHIME MAKER AN A REGULAR CHIME MAKER NOTHING
SOUNDED LIKE MINE DID THINGS TO LEARN THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
IT TOOK ME SOME TIME TO LEARN WHAT I WAS DOING.
Thank you very much for all the information that you have shared. I am building a wind chime for the Oklahoma Railway Museum and I know the information will make a lot better wind chime for us.
Great, glad it was a help Art. BTW, by chance are you restoring a telegraphy office for the museum. I am slightly involved with the restoration of the rail station in Valparaiso, IN, where the largest telegraphy school in the western hemisphere existed. The Dodge Institute of Telegraphy. Just curious ??
I am sure they are as they are doing a big expansion next year. Will check tomorrow as Thomas is in town so everyone will be working and will be glad to ask. I will pass this on if I find someone that knows or worked Telegraphy I will also show them this message so the can get in touch.
I talked to Erick Dilbeck president and Drake Rice Secretary this weekend and they are very interested in any help you can give. You can contact them at info@oklahomarailwaymuseum.com Thank you every much as this is a full make over of the museum with a lot of projects. We are located in Okla. City.
Hello master. I have a question. I go to create my 3 octaves chimes xylophone with 3" diameter chimes from F3 to F6. My questions. What chimes diameter 2" or 3" sound better ? What chimes diameter 2" or 3" sound louder to play in a big orchestra with drumset ? and what diameter sound with more "fundamental note" between 2" or 3" diameter ?
Best regards Mr. Lee Hite. I go to read all your awesome website. Thank you very much.

You good sir, are a credit to your people. :)
I appreciate all the work you done to bring information to others in order to make the world a better place.
I have to admit that my musical background is sorely lacking, and as such, some of your work is a bit beyond my current skill level. Is there a simple encapsulation of suggestions to make chimes that will sound as pleasant to my neighbors as they do when it's close to me?

Resonance is an amazing subject!
Dear Lee I want to say thank you and send you a video for a set of 32 chromatic bells I make now. Are 3" steel bells. The longest is F3 about 170 cms and the shortest is C6 about 68 cms. How I do to send you the video ? Best regards from "Punta del Este" in Uruguay. Your work is an inspiration for all of us. Thanks you. Roberto "Tito" Faraut Garcia from Bateroz.
Chimes like water are essential for relaxation
Combine the two, and you have a peaceful place for prayer.
... /...¡¡¡ FANTASTIC !!!
Muy buen vídeo....
I'm interested in building wind chime, where should I start can you guide us
Thanks for the info ❤️👍
The best thing to do is go to the website and either use the plans for building or design your own using the tools on the site. leehite.org/Chimes.htm

The steel cylinders sound better than the aluminum cylinders. So why are most wind chimes made from aluminum tubes instead of stainless steel?
The difference you hear between aluminum and steel is mostly do to the mass of the material. If the two tubes weighed the exactly the same the sound would be very similar. It is easier to accomplish a longer sustained time with steel because it is more dense than aluminum. Watched the first part of this video where I do a comparison among five different chimes and that may help. th-cam.com/video/AfOb8EIx04k/w-d-xo.html
Great video! Thank you for making and sharing this! Have you tried using a string bow with any of these? Would love to know/hear if that works to create a sustained tone, particularly with the deeper/lower tones.
Your need to start over from the beginning it is flawed.
1. The bell ringer is shaking the small chime sets at different rates.
2. The large chime sets and single chime tubes are being struck at different heights and force.
Why do you hear the voice but when you hit the chimes it is silent????????????????????
Definitely G4...tone and reverberation ..strike a cord with me
☺☺☺☺
I prefer the sounds from the buoys by sea ports
Do you sell them?
No, never sold chimes. I just stick to the R&D area.
INTERESTING!!!!
what you are show use is waves and the speed the waves are traveling at and the difference in the waves and speed depends on foot descendants that what is still traveling at and what the ear can pickup.
G4 sounds best, then D5 is awesome too
noise pollution traffic in the back round
stfu
All wind chimes are obnoxious.
It's Me Exaggeration

Stop listening, please stop complaining. There's always someone who will shit in the apple pie.
Thank you.
