Wind chimes are usually made of metal or wood rods and are hung outside in gardens or near porches. They are cut, tied, and tuned to create simple melodies or complementary chords of music. This doesn’t happen by accident! There are specific mathematical equations to follow when creating them.


A Brief History of Wind Chimes
Suspending metal chimes to create sound was popular in Ancient Rome and bronze examples have been discovered at several archaeology sites. These tintinnabulum often featured tiny bells, which were believed to ward off evil spirts. In Eastern and Southeastern Asia, “wind bells” were hung at corners of pagodas to ward off both birds and evil spirits. They are also hung around temples and private homes to maximize the flow of chi.
Beliefs and Benefits
Wind chimes do more than add soft background music—they’re believed to circulate positive energy, making them a staple in Asian-style gardens or Feng Shui designs. Placement matters:
- 5-6 pipes: Hang in the northwest for luck.
- 8 pipes: Position in the northeast for wisdom.
- Avoid trees: Metal clashing with wood may disrupt harmony, per Feng Shui principles.
Beyond beliefs, their calming tones reduce stress and elevate any outdoor space—perfect for Cincinnati’s diverse gardens.
