HOLY CRAP.
They stole my "wind chimes" idea....

From World of Zekira (Social Systems book)
some which are used only in certain areas of the world due to climate or conditions: wind chimes are not the little objects known on earth. Whole symphonies have been made (by an admittedly mad composer) involving the use of huge metal and wood constructions that when wind blows over them they vibrate -- loudly. Nature sounds play larger roles in Zekiran music than they ever could in earthly songs.

(later, same book)
7829 Mad composer Dulath creates his symphony of Wind and Harmonies of the Wings, while in Ama, blowing a lot of money on his huge wind collecting musical devices, but then making a whole lot more when the recordings skyrocket in popularity. He called these half-mile long pieces of crystal and metal "wind chimes"... others called them monstrosities, noise machines, and other less than raving reviews.



I'd love to go see it. The sound quality on the recording wasn't that great. Plus, I'd have put holes in the tubes to really make em sound Heck Dulath's wind chimes aren't even the first of my bizarre musical instruments: I have an elf-colony on one world I write about, which is called the "Spire", a half-mile high solid marble flute, basically... Holes in it facing certain directions, floors to break up the wind inside... dawn comes loudly for those poor elves...
