I have always been a fan of wind chime. When I was younger my house was much smaller and we didn’t have a good spot to hang a nicely singing wind chime, so I got desperate and bought one during a trip to Japan and hung it in my room. Of course, it never did sing. Too bad I don’t have a photo of that. :P
After moving to our current house, I am much older and I grew into quite particular with the sound a wind chime may produce. My boy-friend’s sister has a really HUGE metal and wood wind chime which they put in the house and the sound was much like the bell in a temple. The very deep, old ‘Tong…… Tong……’. To me, it was really relaxing to listen to it. :)
Some time last year I went to his hometown and bought this fish-shaped bamboo wind chime for my family. My parents hang it on the side of our main door and it does produce very tropical, holiday-like music when the wind blows.
I have recently asked my brother to get me a capiz shell wind chime from Pulau Redang, but have yet to identify a suitable spot for it. It does, sing very nicely, but just too fragile to be hung at spots with strong wind.
I’m really curious on what everyone is hanging this week. :) Happy Hunting everyone!
