It’s not the size of the wind chime that matters; it’s the music the wind chime makes.  Oh, come on, if you want large wind chimes, you want very large wind chimes.  Each of us has out own sense of what is “very large”.  Usually, when stores or garden shops refer to these wind chimes, they are anywhere over three feet long.

They tend to pick up breezes better than their smaller cousins, but they can also be heavier and more expensive.  If you can, hear the large wind chime’s noises before buying, to be sure the music isn’t too distracting.  Wind chimes are meant to soothe and enhance the experience of life, not to make you wish to puncture your eardrums with an ice pick.

Don’t Break Wind Chimes

When picking a very large wind chime, not only do you want to take the sounds it makes into consideration, but if you have enough room for it.  These large wind chimes, particularly of metal, might be too heavy to hang on that tree branch as you’d planned.  They are made out of all sorts of materials, so perhaps wood or even a plastic/wood hybrid might be light enough and sweet enough for you.

Also, you will want to be able to hang it up and take it down easily.  Some people love their wind chimes only in the day, but need complete silence in able to sleep.  If there is a big rainstorm coming up, you will want to remove the wind chimes not only to keep you from going crazy with the noise, but to keep it from breaking.

The Rise Of Wind Chimes

Wind chimes have been around for millennia, but more and more homes in modern America and Europe are very large wind chimes sprouting up like mushrooms.  Wind chimes of all sizes have always been popular in the East, as well as the art of Feng Shui.  Now the art of Feng Shui is gaining popularity and credence in the West, and so wind chimes are even more popular than in years past.

Feng Shui hopes to place you, your home or business in a harmonious balance of elements, such as metal, wood and wind.  Others who turn their noses up at Feng Shui, let alone pronounce it, however find the sound of wind chimes soothing and stress relieving.  They are also an elegant addition to any home, garden or business.
