Wind chimes have had many uses over the years-- many use them to welcome or alert them of the arrival of guests. Some believe they have positive properties if used correctly in Feng Shui arrangements. Some say they ward of evil spirits, and some use them as a predictor of weather. Some, also, just think they look nice and sound beautiful.
The pitch of the chime depends on what material it is made out of, how thick/dense the tubes are, and how long they are. Typically the thicker, longer tubes make a lower pitched sound. Material also matters in this, however.
To calibrate the Daniel Dakota Westminster Chime clock, first wind the clock fully. Then adjust the time to 5 minutes before the desired time and let the clock chime. You can fine-tune the clock by adjusting the minute hand to the exact time when the chime sequence ends. Repeat as needed until the chime matches the correct time.
The clapper of the chime is the part strung in the center... it is usually a solid piece (unlike the hollow tubes surrounding it) that "claps" against the tubes, causing them to resonate and create the chiming sound that you are looking for. Attached in the related links there is a diagram that will give you a visual of what the clapper is and where it should be located.
If the wind is from the north, the wind vane will point to the south. The wind vane is weighted so that the wind can swing it in the direction that it is going.

Actually Wind Chimes are not for using purpose but for the decorative purpose. so just hang the Wind Chime anywhere, where u can find much wind blowing and u will get a nice music commin out of the Wind Chime. according to feng sui its good to have a wind chime in home as it is known as the source of peace..
No.
Any where they can catch a breeze. A wind chime should be hung anywhere that it is not blocked from the wind. Make sure where you hang it has as little blocking the chime from wind as possible. The more angles the wind can get to it from, the more often it will chime. Ideal wind speeds to make your chime's sound perfect are believed to be about 6-10mph. Also, keep in mind that the chime should be close enough to somewhere you will spend a lot of time, so you are within earshot when it does sound!

To hang a wind chime, you will need to find a sturdy hook or hanger in a location where it can catch the wind. Use a strong string or wire to attach the wind chime to the hook, making sure it is secure and able to move freely in the breeze.

A wind chime makes its music when the chime is rattled by wind or another force, and the hanging tubes that make up the chime collide. They cause each other to vibrate, producing a resonating "ringing" sound.
It is a wind chime that is made out of bamboo. They don't really "chime" like the metal ones do, they make more of a "thunk" or "clunk" sound, but it's still a nice sound.
Most of the vibration, and the sound that is a result of that vibration, is in the tubes of the chime. When they hit each other it causes a vibration at a certain frequency which causes a note to issue from the chime. I've linked a wind chime guide that shows the different parts of a chime, part #5 is where the vibration occurs.
