talk to the wind, ma’am, and maybe ’twill take a request

My stepsister hates the sound of wind chimes with a passion. So one year we got her a set of nerf wind chimes.

I like a wind chime that plays its own cadenzas.

A definite drawback of wind chimes – cute panel.

Maybe if you hooked up a windmill to turn a music box.

Our first wind chimes were tuned to the key of C and sounded very nice. So we got two more sets tuned to F and G and they make very pretty music on a windy day.

Always an original performance.

I used to have a program, I think it was even a screen saver, that played wind chimes. They were adjustable to all sorts of sounds, like guitar or toba and all sorts of speeds, like mild wind or hurricane.

♪ And they called the wind ♪ Thelonius ♪ ♪

Try an Aeolian Wind harp.

Just enough noise to annoy.
