If you would like to brighten up your home or garden with a wind chime, but find that the traditional classic wind chime is perhaps too loud or abrasive, with its aluminum or bronze tubes being struck every time a breeze catches it, don’t worry, because there are alternatives. Bamboo wind chimes are very popular and come in many different styles and sizes, from many different manufacturers. They can consist of bamboo parts, such as the beater and hanger. Having a bamboo beater means that the metal tubes won’t be struck as hard as with other beaters, because bamboo is a soft wood. Other bamboo chimes feature the resonating tubes themselves made from bamboo. This means that the chime will produce a softer, subtler sound and won’t ring out as much as a metal tube.

 Another advantage of bamboo chimes is that the bamboo used in the manufacturing process is sourced from renewable bamboo farms, and because you are not using traditional wood you do not have to worry about contributing to deforestation or other environmental damage. The unique look of bamboo wind chimes mean that they often look good outdoors as well as indoors. Here you will find some great bamboo chimes from some of the best manufacturers, so you can find a great product for your home. Read the rest of this entry

Solar chimes come in many different types, with many different functions.
