Bells are a unique sort of windchime. First, they don’t have wind catchers like the traditional windchimes. The bells’ sweet sound can be made with a small clapper. In some designs, the bells set close to each other and strike each other when disturbed by the wind. The bells sound depends on the design of the windchime. Bells cannot be tuned to specific notes like tubes can be, but the pitch and quality of a bell’s sound can be controlled by size, shape, and number.

Bells can be used to make some truly stunning designs. Versatile and light, some popular designs include using bells to form “waterfalls” and flowers, among other things. Bells can be made from many different types of material and methods, including polished bronze, silver, and cast metal.

Who might enjoy bells? Anybody who appreciates beautiful sounds and beautiful designs. Many bells are appropriate for hanging outside in a garden, or on a porch or patio. Most bells are also appropriate to be hung indoors. Some bells are so fetching and delicate that they can accentuate or compliment any home décor or style.
