FYI

J.W. Stannard chimes is no longer in business, They sold out to the "Encore Group" a large national wholesale gift supplier who turned around and started having the Stannard line of wind chimes produced in Chinanad now it seems as though the "Encore Group has also gone under for what ever reason???

Maybe too much junk from China??

Wind Chime Tips

Chime Tube Stop Ringing?

1.Check inside the tube for spider nest, wasp nest and Gecko's & small green frogs love the tubes for a home.

2. Check the Nylon and plastic eyelets in each section of tubing as they will shrink and crack over time, become loose and kill the natural vibration which produces the sound you hear. Nothing Performs and last as long as Solid Brass Eyelets.

3. Does your Chime Tubes have rubber "O" rings near the bottom of the tubes? They are actually stopping the natural vibration of the tube thus dampening the quality of the tone produced. They were meant to prevent the tubes from clanging together but for the most part it does not work. Take them off and you will notice a longer sustained ring from your wind chime. If they become annoying simply put a rubber band around all of the tubes.

4.Anything inside the tubes or touching the outer walls of the tubing  including the suspension cord will interfere with or totally stop the natural vibration of the tubes. Rubber rings, get rid of them.

These rubber rings were suppose to prevent the tubing from banging together. If the wind is that high bring them inside to help prevent damage or simply put a rubber band around all of the tubes.

Seem's like two wind chime producers here in the  U.S. are having their wind chimes made in China and trying to pass them off as U.S. made with no mention of their origin. BE CAREFUL!

We all know of the extremely poor quality of products made in China, most are pure junk and not even close to what is produced in the good ole U.S.A.

Buy Only AMERICAN MADE

1. If you are wanting to re-string your wind chime DON'T waste your time using a monofilament fishing line. It just won't last very long at all hanging outside in the elements. This is true for any type of fishing line and that is why serious fishermen replace their line most every year. Any type or brand of fishing line just will not last very long as it is designed to deteriorate over a short period of time. Dacron cord does not even begin to last near as long as nylon

Eyelets are the only method of prevention that can be used to stop fraying and cutting of the wind chime tubing suspension cord, the suspension cord and the center cord as well.

The smaller diameter tube or rods the smaller the cord diameter and this holds true for larger diameter tubes. We now have 5 different metric sizes of double braided nylon cord so you can re-string your wind chimes.
