I love them but the small tinkling ones not the big gong type sound. I had a big one a few years ago and it would wake me in the middle of the night. A few times I had to go out and take them down. I have 2 left right now. It's very windy here so they tend to fall apart.

I love them...from the dollar store ones to the high-end-perfectly-toned ones. I've got them all over the place. I must admit that I like the high-end one the best. I remember a similar post at GW...I was astonished that there were so many people who didn't like them. It was a very long thread...did you see it?

Well, I love them. I have 2 pair, but right now they are packed . Maybe I can hang a pair in my jeep. LOL. These are the kind that are tuned. Someplace I have directions to make a set out of Electrical tubing. Would love a set of those 5 footers. But. That probably won't happen. Even if I had them in a spot where the wind didnt get them alot, but I could walk by and give them a clang everyonce in awhile, .....that would work too. I had a set in my kitchen window at the farm, That was nice. There is a set here on my friends front porch , so, I have gotten to enjoy hers.

I love them too. I have to admit to taking them down when it is too windy. I like the lower tones. I find the high notes too tinny and annoying. My fave one that I have hung in the doorway of my wooden gazebo to protect it from the elements is short to long metal tubes and sounds like a harp when the wind blows. Magical!
