All of the essentials for getting good sounds from different sounding forms are here, as well as ideas on suspension, the basics of tuning,and suggestions for materials and resources. The accompanying CD, with twenty-eight different types of wind chimes represented, allows you to hear and compare the various types, and it’s a pleasure to listen to in itself.

The chapters include: 1) Introduction. 2) The Example Chime (a detailed description of the construction procedure for a typical, but beautiful-sounding, wind chime). 3) Useful Information (a mini-encyclopedia of practical information on chime design construction). 4) Chime Tunings (how to tune, and a wealth of ideas for tunings). 5) Descriptions (photos and construction information for a diverse array of wind-chimes of all types).
