Customer Reviews
This is a very good looking wind chime; the details and colors on the sun and moon images are exquisite. The sound is also very soothing. I bought it as a gift for my friend and she loved it. It's also larger than I expected according to the measurement, which is actually a nice surprise because the material makes it very substantial.
I like this chime due to it's appearance and value. The quality of the sun and mon images is excellent; the colors are nice. The way it hangs, though, doesn't allow it to produce a lot of sound. When there is sound, it is a low, mellow tone--very pleasing. I had it hanging from the awning of my camper during a wicked storm, and it got blown down, but it survived without a scratch. My friends who have seen it, have commented positively about it.
yes, excellent price for chimes....liked the handiwork. looking forward to hanging them over deck come spring.

This piece was quite nice. The only problem I had with it was the strings holding the bamboo were not tied very good and I had to retie them.

Sun/moon bamboo chimes is a perfect addition to our summer outdoor living. Bamboo chimes are the only chimes I like because of the earthy sound to them. Very cute and fun.
