Wind chimes are a type of striking instrument made from suspended tubes, rods, bells or other objects that are often made of metal or wood. They are usually hung outside a building or residence as a visual and aural garden ornament. Since the percussion instruments are struck by the random effects of the wind blowing the chimes, wind chimes have been considered an example of chance-based music.
