Bring Life into Focus with Bamboo Wind Chimes

Bamboo wind chimes dance in the wind! They make a soft sound, much different than the sound of metal chimes. Bamboo wind chimes come in many styles and can grace any part of your home that is frequented by the wind. To create a symphony of different sounds you can select from the many styles of bamboo wind chimes.

Bamboo wind chimes offer more than just sound. They are also graceful in appearance. In the Asian system of placement and design known as feng shui, bamboo wind chimes represent a marriage between wood and wind. This is a very different dynamic from the marriage of metal and wind. So they offer an alternative for tuning your metaphysical energies.

There are many bamboo products that are considered auspicious for feng shui placement in your home. Among them are:

• Bamboo flutes
• Indoor bamboo plants
• Lucky bamboo plants
• Bamboo water fountain
• Bamboo curtains
• Bamboo vases
• Bamboo prints

Bamboo wind chimes also offer a wonderful complement to other types of chimes you have. I have several types of chimes scattered about my property. When the wind is strong they all sing to me. The Bamboo wind chimes are almost like the percussion section, against the piano and horn sounds of the larger metal chimes and the exquisite singing of the smaller, higher-pitched chimes. When they are all moving and sounding in the wind, it is like a symphony! What a glorious sound they make on a windy cloudy day, when I'm tucked away safe in my home with a book and a fire.

Bamboo wind chimes can also be combined with other materials to produce even greater variety. In Bali, bamboo is often paired with carved shells, the shells tinkle in the wind adding again another dimension of sound. I have seen bamboo wind chimes paired with many materials, such as: driftwood, stones, metal, bone, glass, and of course shells.

If you truly love the nature-made sounds of chimes, you will adore the added freshness and percussive notes of the bamboo wind chimes.
