Here in the Owens Valley, windchimes can be a problem. Much of the time we have a gentle breeze. Within a matter of minutes, that gentle breeze can turn into some ferocious winds that turn the sky brown with dust. Most windchimes with a dangling clacker are torn to pieces within a month or two. Windchimes sold locally tend to be solid bars or tubes hanging from a single crossmember, with no clacker at all. These won't even make a sound unless the wind is fairly strong.The Woodstock Chicago Blues windchime makes beautiful music in the gentlest breeze, and holds up to our ferocious windstorms without flailing wildly... Still making that same beautiful music. The sound is so sweet that I actually recorded a segment to play as background sound in my Kwan.Aaaaand... I play Blues Bass, so there you have it.Cheers,Drew
