  • You are so right on where to put the hole.They also need to be tuned with a chromatic tuner so they compliment each other. Other wise they sound like junk rattling. Ans tell people never to cut the ends on an angle. You cut them long and grind the bottom till they come in tune. Use piano chords to get the right notes.

  • the hole placement is very important to how the chime rings. any material any length there is a "sweet spot" called a node. that spot wont vibrate when the chime is struck. the node is at 22.3% of the length of the pipe or rod. thats where you make the hanging hole and it will ring like a bell.

  • NIce video. learned alot. Thank you

  • nice video, learned a lot, such as; I didn't know that the hole placement was just as important as the length of the pipes. Made wind chimes once with pipes from the hardware store. Turned out nice, but with this video I think a can now make them sound nicer. Thank you

  • Very interesting!
