Our Best-Sounding Wind Chimes: Engineered to Perfection
Wind chimes are a great outdoor decoration, but the best wind chimes also make wonderful music. A set of tuned wind chimes makes your guests feel welcome and calm in your home.
At Fox Brae Wind Chimes, we believe in quality. All our wind chimes are made from high-quality and corrosion resistant T3036 aluminum. We tune each tube to the pentatonic scale to make the best-sounding wind chimes possible.
Fox Brae Wind Chimes Are Tuned to The Pentatonic Scale
Aside from making great decorative pieces that make beautiful sounds, wind chimes are also musical instruments. Our wind chimes are tuned to the five major sounds of the pentatonic scale: C, D, E, G, and A.

Our wind chimes differ from other common wind chimes because not all wind chimes are created to be musical, such as those made with bamboo or wooden tubes. Musical wind chimes are designed by cutting high-quality aluminum tubes at a specific length. From there, the narrow tubes will create a unique sound from a gentle breeze with the help of the striker in the center.
"Impressive" – Sue
"Bought this for a friend after her father passed. This wind chime is a nice size and is made with durable metal wires. I was very impressed with it. Such a beautiful item."
5 Sizes, Each With a Different Sound
We currently offer five sizes for our high-quality wind chimes. Starting with our longest set of wind chimes, our Westminster XL Plus is 52 inches in length with 1-inch-wide tubes and offers a deep tenor sound that resonates through the air.
Our Buckingham XL is 52 inches long with ⅞ inch tubes and is our second-largest set of wind chimes.
Next, the Fox Brae Windsor Large wind chimes are 42 inches long with 1-inch tubes. This set of wind chimes offers a pleasant higher pitch sound, compared to the Westminster and Buckingham XL, as the length of the tubes is shortened.
Our last two sets of wind chimes include the Fox Brae Kensington 36-inch with 7/8-inch tubes and the East Coast Piccadilly 30-inch with ¾-inch tubes. These wind chimes offer higher pitches according to the pentatonic scale.
Quality That Withstands Strong Winds
Made with T3036 aluminum, our metal wind chimes are durable. They are built to withstand direct sunlight and weather in every season for outdoor use year-round. Of course, our wind chimes can withstand strong winds, and you can enjoy their music as they do!
We make our tuned wind chime tubes from a high-grade aluminum alloy so that the tubes won’t weather or corrode in strong winds, rain, or snow. Not only are our wind chime tubes made from high-quality materials, but the wires the tubes hang from will also withstand any kind of weather.
"Beautiful job." – Elizabeth
"Ma'am, You all did a beautiful job! I honestly cannot say "Thank You" enough! When I saw the engraving, it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for doing what you do!"
The Sound of Your Wind Chimes Changes Based on Length and Diameter
Depending on the length of the tubes and their diameter, the sound of each set of wind chimes will sound different.
The longer the tubes your wind chimes have, the deeper the sound they will make. Vice versa, the shorter the tubes, the higher the pitch. Also, with longer wind chime tubes, the sound will carry for a longer period of time.
However, the diameter of the tubes also plays a part in how your wind chimes will sound when swaying with the wind. The larger diameter of the wind chime tubes, the deeper the sound will also be. So, the sound for wind chimes of the same tube length can still sound different if the tubes have different diameters!
Lastly, the more tubes a set of wind chimes has the more complex the sound. So, pairing two separate sets of chimes with varying lengths will create an orchestra of pleasant sound.
Why Use a Stainless Steel 7-Strand Wire?
To ensure that you can enjoy and use your wind chimes all year, we use a sturdy seven-strand wire for them to hang from. We utilize a stainless steel seven-strand wire for maximum durability and outdoor use.
The seven-strand wire is composed of galvanized metal which is weather resistant and perfect for outdoor decoration. It withstands snow, rain, and strong wind gusts easily, allowing your wind chimes to resonate sound with every direction of the wind.
"I highly recommend this fabulous shop." – Linda M.
“I am absolutely thrilled with these gorgeous wind chimes!! The beautiful, melodic sound when the wind blows is enchanting. The engraving is perfect and exceptional work. I purchased the wind chimes for a friend in memory of a beloved family member. It's a unique gift for someone special. I am going to purchase one for myself as well. My order was shipped quickly and was carefully packaged. I highly recommend this fabulous shop!!”
Why Do We Choose T3036 Aluminum?
Aluminum is a durable material that can withstand outdoor use throughout every season. The grade of aluminum our metal wind chimes are made from allows the sound quality to remain intake without fear of warping or corrosion with time and exposure to the elements.
Aluminum is light, too, in comparison to stainless steel. Although stainless steel maintains its unique design, its weight affects the different tones, making it difficult to tune the wind chimes correctly.
Other materials, such as wood, glass, or shells, cannot be tuned and wouldn't create the music that our aluminum wind chimes do. Bamboo and other wooden chimes make decent wind chimes, but no material compares to the lyrical nature of our aluminum wind chimes.
"I'm speechless." – Courtney
I just received the chimes and I'm speechless! They are gorgeous. Your engraver did such a lovely job. Beautiful. I can't wait to give them to my parents this weekend for their anniversary. Thank you so much for getting these to me so quickly. I will definitely be back to you in the future.
Where is the Sound Most Audible?
Wind chimes are best placed on an outdoor patio or another outdoor area to achieve the best, most audible sound. This way, even the slightest breeze can capture the stunning aluminum tubes and send musical notes through the air.
You can also set up your wind chimes indoors, but to hear the full spectrum of sounds, they are best hung nearby or in front of a window that attracts a gentle breeze.
Our wind chimes are best used outdoors but not only because of the unique sound. In the sunlight, you can also clearly see the engraved and customized striker. A set of customized wind chimes makes for a wonderful gift and daily reminder of loved ones.
Our Best-Sounding Wind Chimes Are Great Gifts for Any Occasion
Fox Brae wind chimes are an excellent gift for every occasion and are fully customizable. You can choose the color, then request a personalized etching to wish the gift receiver best wishes.
Our wind chimes also make a great Christmas gift, as they can be hung up to ring in the New Year or next spring season with their soothing tones!
The wooden striker that hangs between the wind chime tubes can have a message etched into it for any occasion, including birthdays, graduations, weddings, and any holiday where you want to express how much you care for that special someone.

"Lots of happy tears were shared." – Chelsey
The chimes turned out beautifully. I had a last minute surprise edit with my wording on the small wooden piece, and they were able to make the changes for me right away! Received the order very quickly as well. Was a gift for my parents who recently put down their dog. Was a memorial chime. Lots of happy tears were shared. Would definitely recommend!
