There is a transcendental quality to the sounds of a corinthian wind chime. The resonance and tone of these chimes is often used to help relax someone into a meditative state. Metal tubes are used to make these distinctive chimes. One could say that the corinthian wind chime is closer to musical instruments than other wind chimes.
