One of the coolest wind chimes I ever saw was made with old silver or silvered spoons they were bent in circles at the and and hung to where it was weighted well and the sound was great. Another was a group of smaller pipe type metal tubes that were hung up that when they hit each other sounded great. You can use alot of things like pieces of wood, beads, pieces of glass etc. they all give different sounds just some hold up better. You can do them in a line or a circle but proximity and wind are the keys to making your music so try out the sound first to see if they are pleasing to the ear. You can always add something frivolous to make it pretty if your selection of sound makers is not so attractive like a figurine like on mine my sister sent me.

Depending on the material you want to use, you could use very resonant wood that will be much quieter but alot nicer... maybe a little advanced. I'd suggest 1'' Stainless steel cut at increasing lengths like a stair case up to 6 pipes and then lace a string through them all with wooden dividers 1-2'' thick laced between each chime, and you're good to go! Crude but effective.

Sooooo many things you can use.
Electrical conduit
Flatware (spoons, knives, forks)
bamboo
keys
sea shells
pieces of hard wood (slats)
old xzylaphone keys
If it can make a sound, when agitated by wind, and you can string it,,,IT can be a "Wind Chime"

I want to make some too. I seen some that were made out of old silverware, knives, spoons & forks. As well as I remember holes were made in the silverware and hung around a ring, seve or could be a piece of drift wood. I love beading so would add some odds & ends of colorful beads, (plastic would probably be better). You can often find things like this at a garage sale or flea market. Since I like vintage things this appealed to me. I have also seen them made with colored glass (the kind you use for stained glass. Have them cut long enough or maybe at various lengths, drill holes in them and hang them with clear fishing line from drift wood. Use your imagination. I have seen them made our of different kinds of steel or copper pipes. The steel make a nice sound.
I am giving myself a lot of ideas, so may try my to make some myself. You gave me something to be creative with, Thanks!

question is a touch difficult, why would you want to close off history initiatives to position in a sport? properly besides... only press and carry the CTRL(administration) Key, The ALT Key and the DELETE key together, and the job manager could pop up, end techniques, no longer purposes yet be carful of what you end because a number of those are had to the computing device operating... in case you close up out one and your computing device begins performing wierd, only restart your computing device and it really is going to start up operating again, and make note of what you ended so that you do not end it again.

you could use metal strippes with a hole to hold the string or certamac pots inside each other hanging by a fishingline with spaces at even intervals

you have to have a top, a clanger, and things to bounce against the clanger, and twine to hold it together
