Copper Wind Chime

To create the sound of a copper wind chime, the tubes are combined and cut to different lengths. Additionally, the artisan can create unique color changes to the metal by oxidizing it- so if a brightly colored wind chime has caught your eye, it may be a copper wind chime.

Many people love the vertigris patina copper gets with age, while some say a copper wind chime will sound differently if it's allowed to become tarnished. For durability, weather-proofing is a good way to assure that your copper wind chime will be just as good-looking and good-sounding in years to come.

If you place your copper wind chime at the north end of your property or building, you'll always know when northerly winds are headed your way. Some like to place their copper wind chime in a spot they know gets a lot of breeze, so they can be sure to hear the orchestra as often as possible.

Copper garden decor is becoming very popular, with copper sculptures popping up, either in combination with other metals or as the exclusive attraction. A copper wind chime will enhance any other copper decor you may have going in your garden. Combined with brass accessories, a copper wind chime can make a special house-warming or wedding gift.
