Beautiful Wind Chimes – Soothing Sounds Resonating From Your Garden
There is a magical way to liven up your garden or any area which you feel is dead and can do with sound and ambiance. Wind Chimes are an amazing tool to do just that. They are guaranteed to bring harmony to your life and usher in peace with soothing sounds.
There are so many different shapes, styles and sizes to choose from and placed just in the right spot in your garden will enhance your life.
Here are a few tips on how to get your started:
There are some techniques that will help get the optimum sounds from your chimes. Walk around your garden each day for a period of time. Early morning, midday and early evening. Let the wind touch your face and body so you can observe the directions and speed of the wind. Does your garden have gentle breezes in some areas? And where is the strongest wind? You need this information so that you could place your chimes to harvest different types of wind. Your main aim for your garden is to use the direction and speed to create a cacophony of sounds which are pleasing and not aggravating.
Aluminum, wood and glass chimes are by far the best to use in a garden. Use the wooden ones where the breeze tends to get strong, with the aluminum ones where the wind swirls around corners. Glass chimes can be placed in between flowers and bushes to great a fairy-like sound.
Depending on how big your garden is, place your chimes at various depths and heights. For example set the bigger ones high maybe on a deck and a smaller one in the same line as the bigger one but lower maybe in a tree, and a smaller one yet to hang among the flowers at a much lower height. Here you need to check the direction of your breeze. You want the wind to always blow from one direction to catch your three-tiered (or more), chime orchestra.
If you are tired of a particular sound of a chime, don’t pack it away. Let is sing some more but place something behind it or in front of it. Maybe a dream catcher or a garden sculpture. Let the wind bounce of of these objects to touch your chime maybe in a gentler way or stronger way.
Should you have traffic noise on your street, place bigger or bolder sounded chimes on the outer border, mixed with lots of tall plants and high grasses. Start where the traffic noise is most concentrated and place smaller daintier chimes nearer the house. This should soften or drain the noise coming from the street both day and night.
You can really have so much fun with your wind Chimes by taking a bit of time to plan your musical masterpiece resonating from your garden. Remember to also place a small in your doorway as quests arrive and leave, they will be greeted with music.
