Homemade copper wind chime

I made this copper pipe wind chime using some junk materials I had lying around in my basement and garage. The copper pipes are Type L, 3/4 inch nominal. The striker is a solid brass cabinet knob. The wind catcher is a round aluminum gang box cover. The 5 pipes were cut using a pipe cutter according to the "C4" tuning dimensions listed on a great website: http://home.fuse.net/engineering/Chimes.htm
The pipes were suspended using a round steel gang box cover in a pentagon fashion (there are numerous pictures of pentagons on-line that can be used as templates so the pipes hang apart at equal distances).
This is what copper pipe wind chimes sound like.
