I purchssed these bc they were different from ones that are placed with a circular top that holds the chimes. I had a set like these once before, (chimes in a line) but those had 3 hanging clappers(?) that swing and hit the chimes in the wind. These are similar, but rely on 1 clapper hitting 1 or 2 chimes then Those chimes touching/hitting the other chimes to make the others 'sound.' So, with lighter winds, not at the chimes are sounding, but that happens with circular set chimes as well with lighter winds. so no big deal. I like them bc of the Reasonal price And for the very fact that They Are different from 90% of all Other windchimes. Make a nice gift, since a lot of ppl have Regular sets. These are nice And unique!
