Dear Carrie,

It is best to use 6 (hollow) rods.

It can be made of brass or even (silver) aluminium.

The centre `clinger' or the support roof can be made of either metal or wood.

I personally find a wooden material the centre `clinger' that hits the 6 rods better than metal. Since it is lighter and with the slightest breeze is easier moved by the wind.

For information, the rationale for using 6 rods is because 6 represents `BIG METAL'. And metal is often used as a cure.

Alternatives for wind chime is to place six coins (preferably the Chinese coins with square holes at the centre) into a glass jar (e.g. a glass jam jar). Add a spoonful of salt and water.

But this alternative needs constant attention because, the water often dries out (depending on humidity). And that it should not be placed at a corner unless there is sufficient ventilation. Preferred location is next to an open window.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
