bamboo chimes

Hollow tube clappers

Bamboo chimes are a wind-activated instrument made of hollow bamboo tubes suspended from a frame, producing soft, resonant tones when struck together by the breeze.

Common as garden or porch decorations, they create ambient sound meant to be soothing or meditative: The bamboo chimes clattered gently on the patio.
