Wind Chimes Are A Beautiful Token Of Tranquility

By Wendy Criswell

Wind chimes make the perfect gift for anyone you love. There is nothing quite like laying in bed on a cool evening listening the sound of the wind chimes playing outside. As their musical motif runs through the house you can easily find yourself lulled into a comfortable sleep.

There is a lot offered by the sound of wind chimes blowing in the wind. Once you've had them there is a need to always have them around. There is a sense of peaceful comfort in the chiming music that just can't be matched by anything else. The sound is so powerful that the victims of trauma can often be settled and comforted enough to get a few hours of sleep thanks to the music provided by the chimes and the wind.

Of course, it is not just night time comfort that these charming chimes offer. They also offer a daytime comfort that is rare in today's world. In the quiet of the afternoon the sound of the chimes playing their unique tunes can be enough to settle a child at naptime or help an adult feel completely at home. There is something nearly magical about the sound that is reflected in the way we gravitate toward it.

In today's world you'd be surprised to find all of the different sounds that you can possible hear in just one windy afternoon. The traditional long, hollow metal sound produces a very musical sound while the hollowed out tubes of bamboo can produce almost a drum beat in the background.

Be wary of trying to match too many chime sounds to a single house. If the sound becomes overwhelming you end up losing the beautiful reflection that can be heard in the distinct pitch. Choose wind chimes that are destined to go together very carefully. Often choosing either very similar sounds are better than trying to find complimentary sounds unless you are truly apt to hear perfect pitch.

No house or apartment is truly complete without the sound of the chimes running through it. Those walking by can appreciate its beauty just as much as someone who is sitting on the front porch. There is something nearly autonomous about the sound that keeps it unique and wondrous.

As a thoughtful gift, the wind chime is such a perfect, on the nose selection that it shouldn't be passed up. Anyone without a chime will soon come to understanding what they've really been missing all this time. It does much more than add sound effects for those walking by. - 2368
