Wind Chimes by Anthony Burt

July 13th, 2008 4:19 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Create an instrument that nature can play.

So i myself am a musician, and was naturally drawn to this task. I truly enjoy the sounds of wind-chimes. (I have about 5 in my backyard) So i decided to make my own. I decided to do this task at my cabin which i recently went too. Its on about 2 or 3 acres of land. To start off i went for a walk in order to gather supplies i was looking for sticks, rope or anything useful. what i found was a bunch of trash. so as of seeing this i decided to make this a recycling project. i found a medal rod, some sort of large lid, yellow rope, and a large can. i took my treasures and headed for the balcony. I just went with a basic wind-chime design. At this point i needed some kind of chime. I looked down at my half full can of Dr. Pepper, i flicked it with my finger. It made a awesome sound. At this point i had found my chimes and finished of 3 cans of Dr. Pepper and a can of Arizona ice tea. After i filled each with varying amounts of water. I then took a quick bathroom break and put it all together. I hung it up and waited for some wind. UNFORTUNATELY California is experiencing a heat wave and it was a 106 degrees with no wind. I needed to hear it though so i got a fan and plugged it in. It sounded awesome unfortunately i didn't have my camera to video tape it in action. Lucky for me my grandma had her cheap digital camera which i used to take a few pics.
