The clanky sounds of cheap bamboo or the high pitched screeching of tiny metal chimes are not pleasant. I have two sets of tuned chimes in my garden that are 1" diameter. They both have 6 chimes that are tuned as a set, but they are also tuned when heard together. One set has longer chimes than the other, so when heard together the chords are much richer.

I know it sounds bougie as hell, but it's really quite a nice effect.

Where did you get them if you don't mind me asking

Also do you know the material of the metals? I wonder if it'd be worth it to have them in different metals for different timbres. Like two different instruments

		https://chimes.com/collections/deep-toned You can play multiple chimes at the same time to get a feel for how they pair

Do they stay (relatively) in tune with temperature changes?

		That seems like an argument for using the same material. Different metals will expand more or less with temperature variations. If they all chance a fixed percentage the tonal ratios should be preserved.

		I'm in Texas, so we have warm, hot, hotter. I've never noticed a difference from temp changes. Whether it has an effect or not, I haven't noticed.
