how do i tune copper pipe wind chimes?
The lenght of the pipe determines the tone of each chime. If you want to tune them, you will need to change the lenght of each pipe by cutting it very precisely. You will not be able to lower the tone of a chime, you can only raise it.
The tone of each pipe is determined by it's length, to change the tone, shorten it, but be careful you might not like the new tone any better and once cut it's too late for that pipe
In my opinion, bamboo chimes are a softer, more gentle sound. It just seems more relaxing than the 'bing-bong' sound of most metal chimes. I have a couple bamboo chimes in my yard. The best way I've found to keep them from 'falling apart' is to try to keep them out of the weather, under an awning, under the cover of a porch, etc.
