WIND CHIMES
Chimes made of galvanized, stainless, or carbon steel typically with three to eight chimes per set. The hangers are oak and the strikers are made from pecan harvested from the artist's front yard. The sails are galvanized steel and take different sizes and shapes.
Most chime sets are inspired by specific songs, with the individual chimes representing guitar notes in the opening measure or two.
MADE FROM THESE MATERIALS
GALVANIZED STEEL
Sourced from dismantled chain link fences galvanized steel pipes are upcycled into Made in Manchaca wind chimes.
CARBON STEEL
Carbon steel pipes - usually used to transport fluids, gas and oil - lend an industrial look and rich sound to some of Made in Manchaca wind chimes.
STAINLESS STEEL
A chance meeting with a local welder led to a friendship and a source for shiny stainless steel pipes for some of Made in Manchaca's largest wind chimes.
