Guide to choosing your wind chime

Why you should buy a Windsong chime

Because we are a small family business, passionate about producing an Australian manufactured wind chime of superlative quality. The fact we have been producing our product since the 1980s shows the staying power and popularity of our wind chimes. Our wind chimes are beautifully presented in lightweight post and travel friendly boxes. Please read more about us and our quality guarantee.

When you should buy a wind chime

Whether for yourself or as a gift, our wind chimes are designed to bring harmony and serenity into the lives of those who own one. They make excellent gifts for all kinds of different occasions, especially when you personalise them with our engraving service.

As a birthday, christmas, engagement, wedding or thank you gift, the recipient will have a continuing reminder of your generosity and thoughtfulness and will always remember the gift came from you.

For the ill and bedridden friend or relative they provide a source of comfort, healing, companionship and entertainment. The photos below show samples of engraving on the wind sail, however we also engrave on the pipes.

With our engraving service they are a very special memorial gift for the bereaved because they provide a feeling of closeness to the departed soul and a gentle reminder of the loved one whenever the wind strikes up a note.

How to choose your wind chime

We have designed an interactive listening experience to help you choose from the range of Windsong Chimes. The first step is to listen to the various tunings to determine the pitch and melody that suits your temperament.

The sounds are of three main types.

  • Minor scale is contemplative (Abbey, Bo Bells, Rani and Celestial) and
  • Pentatonic scale is tranquil (Willow, Concerto, Malay and Mikado) and
  • Major scale is festive (Cathedral).

To assist in this selection process every Windsong Chime is named to reflect its own musical character. This helps you identify the chime’s mood. Consider the different sizes and colours to aid in choosing a wind chime that will assure a lifetime of enjoyment.

Individual responses to the sound of wind chimes varies with each listener, their temperament and personality. To help you understand the various emotional responses the different tunings of our wind chimes can invoke, here is a guide.

Calmness and relaxation

Wind chimes with a pentatonic tuning have been developed to soothe and relax.  Each of our calmness and relaxation wind chimes have been tuned to calm the mind, body and soul.

  • Willow C pentatonic - Chinese tuning
  • Concerto Bb pentatonic - classical Western 
  • Malay SE Asian scale
  • Mikado Japanese scale

Contemplation and meditation

Wind chimes with a minor tuning have been developed to enhance contemplation and meditation.  Each of our contemplation and meditation wind chimes have been tuned to bring on mindfulness and a connection with the elements.

  • Rani C minor - Indian raga
  • Bo Bells A Minor
  • Abbey 3 and 6 pipe C Minor
  • Celestial C Minor

Revitalisation and inspiration

Wind chimes with a major tuning have been developed to stimulate the senses and celebrate special and festive occasions. Our revitalising and inspiring wind chimes have been tuned to invoke outward and uplifting feelings and to honour each day in all its glory.

  • Cathedral D major 
  • Orleans  Blues scale

Tranquillity and harmony

A simple method of placing a rubber band around the middle of the timber striker will mute the notes of some of our extra-large wind chimes but increase the harmonics to create a humming resonance. Our tranquil and harmonic wind chimes have been tuned to resonate within you in your peaceful surroundings.

Where to hang your wind chime

The quality of the materials used in the manufacture of Windsong Chimes means you can hang your wind chimes in many places in and around the home. However to protect it from the harsher elements of the weather we do recommend they be placed in a semi-protected position. Think about the size of it too - the hanging height measurements are from the keyring at the top, down to the bottom of the wind sail. 

When placing your wind chime, think of it as a pot plant. Move it around until you are happy with how it looks, and most importantly, how it sounds. That perfect little spot you had in mind might not have enough breeze, or worse still, may be a wind tunnel. Consider hanging your chime inside where you can control its sound by opening and closing a door or window. If they don't ring often indoors you can play them each time you pass, which is still very effective.

Feng shui wind chimes

The ringing bright sounds of some of our wind chimes are ideal for bringing new positive energy to clear old negative energy. Wind chimes can be hung indoors or out. Hang wind chimes to activate and awaken the area to create more energy and movement in your environment and your life. A Feng Shui Consultant will be able to advise you in more detail regarding the optimum placement of your wind chime.
