Musical chimes are instruments that produce sound when struck, typically made of metal, wood, or glass. They come in various forms, such as wind chimes, which are hung outdoors and create soothing melodies when the wind blows, and tubular chimes, which are often used in orchestras and can be played by hand. These instruments are popular in gardens and homes for their calming effects and aesthetic appeal. Wind chimes can be found in many cultures, often associated with good luck or spiritual significance. Tubular chimes are commonly used in music therapy to promote relaxation and emotional well-being.
