Tubular chimes are musical instruments made of metal tubes that produce sound when struck. They are often used in orchestras, wind chimes, and as decorative garden ornaments. The length and thickness of each tube determine the pitch of the sound, with longer tubes producing lower notes and shorter tubes creating higher notes. These chimes can be played by hand or with mallets, and they are known for their resonant, bell-like tones. Tubular chimes are commonly found in music therapy, where their soothing sounds can promote relaxation and well-being. They are also popular in wind chimes for outdoor decoration.
