Wind chimes can be made out of any material, and each different material offers a different sound. You can experiment with many different materials to create different sounds... many today are made of glass, metals, and bamboo, but you can try anything that won't break when the pieces collide, and see how it sounds!

∙ 15y agoThis site gives you excellent information on making Wind Chimes, what kind of metals, and how to construct. (very informative) Excerpt:
Copper pipe of three-quarter inch or one inch diameter will work just fine, but you can also use electrical conduit or aluminum rods and tubes. In fact, the harder aluminum alloys are the current favorite among our chime message board constructors. Most tubes will be less than 18 inches long, but you may also experiment with pipes much longer. You can also tune the longer, larger chimes, but you may have to suspend them individually from the eaves of your house because of their weight. Copper pipe will not rust, but if left unpainted it will get a greenish verdigris coating. If the green color doesn't bother you, don't worry about the weathered look. The softer copper produces a mellower sound than steel pipe. Burnish the copper pipe with fine steel wool and coat it with a thin coat of outdoor polyurethane to keep it from tarnishing. Painting after tuning a chime may change the tone slightly, but it's not usually a significant amount.
