A brass wind chime with a central bell and six tuned tubes on a wooden disc. The tubes are cut to graduated lengths so the chime sounds a chord rather than a clatter. Brass bells have been made in China for centuries, mostly for livestock and boats.
A wind chime is a set of tubes hung from a disc so they strike a central clapper as the assembly moves. Tubes cut to graduated lengths sound a chord; if the lengths are wrong it sounds like noise, which is a fair way to judge a cheap chime.
This one has six brass tubes on a beech disc with a brass bell below. Brass, not lacquered steel: it will dull and darken outdoors, which is normal. Hang it where it catches a draught and not where someone will walk into it.
