making some wind chimes and found some pieces have a nice ting and some just sound dead
thinking moisture content might be the key but maybe there is a species correlation
so many scraps and not sure what they are
now tuning them is another story
....thinking moisture content might be the key but maybe there is a species correlation....
For sure there is. Just Google "tonewood" Wiki has quite a good write up. The tuning will very according to the dimensions of each block. Coarsely tune them by cutting them to size and fine tune by planing till they sound in tune.

interesting
had not heard of it before
these are cylindrical so i will fine tune by sanding
although flat faces might be more interesting
now if they could be arranged so they play a melody somehow that would be a plus
Music box mechanism. Wind mill turns a cylinder with dowels sticking out. Dowels are position appropriately to hit the tone-boards for the tune.
"Fur Elise" cylinder might be easy to make. Post pics when done.
