Solid polyethylene clappers provide superior tonal quality and outdoor durability.<.li> Chime tuningsMusic of the Spheres chimes are designed in a variety of musical scales so you could choose the one that sings most sweetly to you. The eleven musical scales available are divisible into two main categories of music - the more ‘familiar’ and the more ‘exotic’ sounds.The Pentatonic Quartal Chinese Mongolian and Westminster can be categorized as Familiar scales while the Hawaiian Japanese Balinese Whole Tone Aquarian and Gypsy are the Exotic melodies.You will find the distinctions between the categories easier to make than the distinctions between wind chimes within a category. The familiar major scales are quite similar one to the other while the exotic scales are only somewhat similar one to the other. If you are having trouble deciding what you like first determine the category that pleases you and focus there. Listen and watch for a tuning that seems to bring a sense of ease or calm. Then let your mind relax and enjoy the experience.Chime sizesMusic of the Spheres chimes come in several sizes. The larger chimes have a lower pitch and smaller chimes have a higher pitch. The chime sizes are designed in a way that their pitch ranges overlap and complement each other.Hanging your chime:There are a number of safe ways to hang your chime. The best for a particular circumstance will depend on which chime size you’re hanging and where it is you would like it to hang. In all cases simply using some basic common sense is a great start. In many cases hanging a chime properly is not a complicated matter. Some chime hanging basics are:Don’t hang your chime on anything that is sharp or abrasive. Over time the cord will be cut or worn and will eventually break. For instance instead of hanging the chime from an old rusty nail take the time to get a carabiner or some other sort of metal ring. Hang the chime from the ring then hang the ring from the nail.Consider the fact that the forces on the chime support will vary and will increase substantially during severe weather conditions. When planning the support for your chime take the time to do it right by preparing for stormy conditions.Test the installation by giving a tug on the chime after hanging it to make sure it stays put. For the smaller chimes a gentle downward pull will suffice; whereas for the larger heavier chimes a good solid downward test pull is a good idea. A good rule of thumb is to test the installation with a force that is between two and three times the weight of the chime.Be considerate of your tree. When hanging chimes from a tree limb use a blanket or a piece of rubber to spread out the load on the limb. This will avoid cutting into the bark and damaging the tree. A section of an old bicycle tire works very well for this purpose.Use a deck hook as a safe and convenient way to hang the chimes from a deck railing.Use a wall bracket to hang the chime from a wall. If mounting the bracket on a brick stone or masonry wall use the proper inserts for the job.About Music of the SpheresIn 1989 Larry Roark started Music of the Spheres in his garage with a few hand tools and some galvanized steel tubing. Since then the company has continued to grow both in sales and in square footage. Hand-made with the same attention to quality and detail as before their melodious chimes have struck the correct chord with customers.
