Woodstock Medium Amazing Grace Chime

At only 22 inches long, this wind chime is a lot smaller than some of the other windchimes on this list. Consequently, the tones are much higher in pitch but travel less far in the breeze.

Conclusion: Wind Chimes Sound Lovely!

We hope you found the above information useful, and are now one step closer to identifying the right wind chime for your garden. If you want a consistent, pleasing, harmonious sound, stick to the Pentatonic scaled chimes. Essentially any combination of notes will sound good in the pentatonic scale, which is why it is the most commonly seen scale for wind chimes. However, if you don’t mind some dissonance, the more exotic scales can be more complex, and more dynamic than pentatonic style wind chimes. In the end, if it’s quality you’re after, there’s not beating the Music of the Spheres Pentatonic Alto wind chime . It looks fantastic, sounds fantastic, and is durable enough to last a good few years. If you’re trying to look after the pennies but still want something that’s beautiful and calming, then the Planted Perfect 28” Wind Chime could be a good choice. It’s very well priced and emits a beautiful sound. And, for every one sold, a tree is planted as a thank you. What more could you ask for?
