One site says it should be at 22.4% of the pipe length. I dunno, it seems like differences in wall thickness and material would have different resonant frequencies.

There are online calculators that will tell you length, and attaching node points to achieve each note, then you just figure out a favorite scale and build the tubes accordingly. I like to tune all my chimes to a Pentatonic Minor.

Also another tip that I found out accidently, is if you grab the pipe at a certain distance from the top, like 1/6 of the pipe or something, and hit the pipe you will hear the pipe vibrate in tune. It will echo and sound real loud. If you don't hold the pipe in the right spot, you will never get this sound. After finding this out, I've been wanting to make some wind chimes to utilize this technique. I also have one pipe that I was using as a cheater bar for a wrench, and the end of the pipe got oval shaped from using it and when I hold it in the right spot, the sound reverberates. It sounds really wicked, and want to use that too.

There is a specific place you need to hang your strings on the tube where the vibration waves cancel each other out completely. That's why you see store bought wind chime tubes hanging placement at different locations. There is a percentage of length you want to go down (like 12% or something) and I clicked on this video thinking I could find that number. Guess not 😂
@schlenbea Жыл бұрын
Wanted to follow-up on the hanging mount location. It should be at 22.4% of the length of the tube. So for a 15" tube it should be hung at 3.36" from the top. Hope this helps!

You didn't comment on/address oxidation with the copper pipes. Does it make any difference in the sounds of the chimes over time? Obviously, when initially made, your sanding job looks beautiful. If you clear coat the pipes with something like a plastic coating, does that affect the sound? Thanks.
