Expert Review

I ask Mr. Vandenberg to review the quality of my wind chimes and he said...
For my Western Wind Chime:

  • The sound was really nice.
  • The notes where off, like the pipe which was suppose to be chord C, it actually sounded like a G.
Besides that he said that he actually really liked the sound that the pipes produce all together.

For My Eastern Wind Chime:

  • The sound was really nice.
  • The chords are right.

In conclusion the chords for my western wind chime are off, but the sound of them is actually really nice. He preferred the sound of the western wind chime.

After all this hard work and effort, I've finally accomplished my goal... I have finished my WIND CHIMES!!!!
Now they look as pretty as in the picture (even more beautiful in my opinion)...
But you may ask what is it left???

Well, now I just need to get a review from an expert and record the sound of my wind chimes (beautiful sound by the way) and by then I should be done... #hardwork

Week #4

Today I started measuring the pipes to see where I have to cut them. I bought 2 pipes 3ft long, I can exactly make the 6 chimes. Then the next step would be to cut them and start building the wind chime...
Some of the thinks that I had to think about was which measurements did I wanted to use for the chimes, depending on how I want it to sound.
