Is brass good for making wind chimes?
Bells, which work in a similar way to chimes, can be made with brass, so why can't chimes? Of course, brass creates a different sound than say, aluminum or bamboo, but thats why there are so many different materials used in wind chimes- each material has its own unique sound. I've attached a link to one chime that I found that uses brass in its construction. Check it out!

What are the similarities and differences between wind and brass instruments?
One difference is that woodwind instruments use a wooden reed to form the mouthpiece. The reed sits at the back of the mouthpiece (on the bottom lip) and vibrates against the rest of the mouthpiece to help create the sound. Brass and woodwind instruments are both played by blowing into them (or over them in the case of the flute). Brass instruments do not have any moving parts that vibrate to create a sound. They merely amplify the sound created by the players lips vibrating. Woodwind instruments have a reed that vibrates except for the flute which splits a column of air to make vibrations. Brass instruments change their pitch by changing the length of tubing which the air passes through. Woodwind instruments change their pitch by changing the where the air escapes from the instrument.

What do brass instruments have?
"Cup" style mouthpieces that you purse your lips and blow into, rather than putting your mouth around them.All brass instruments produce sound by sympathetic vibration of air in a tubular resonator in sympathy with the vibration of the player's lips. All brass instruments are also called labrosones, meaning "lip-vibrated instruments".
What are the differences between brass and woodwind instruments?
Brass instruments tend to be made out of brass or other metals/alloys. Woodwind instruments have reeds, which makes a different sound to the brass instrument (in simple terms you have to blow raspberries into to make a sound- it is a little more complecated than that, but its hard to explain).
