Wind Chime Support Disk & Striker Patterns

Contents include: Tubing sizes from to 2 in increments Chime sets for 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8 chimes Generic layout patterns for 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8 points or sides

Instructions
Each chime pattern is formatted to print on 8 x 11 paper. A few oversized diagrams are divided between two sheets for ease of printing. Each pattern includes several overlays on the same diagram. Blue dots represent a support location for either a single hanging mount for the chime tube, or a dual hanging mount arranged to the side of the tube. Occasionally, a tube may share a side mount location with its neighbor because of crowding. Red dots represent suggested locations for a three-point hanging mount to support the disk or ring. Green dots are suggested locations for a four-point hanging mount to support the disk or ring. The black dot defines the pattern center. The small circles around the circumference indicate the chime tube location and size. The outer most circle is the diameter of the support disk The inner circle is a suggested size for a circular striker The star like pattern is a suggested radial striker used to synchronize the strike to several chimes or to produce a quieter and more subtle sound. An alternate to the open radial striker is the closed radial striker pictured below. The closed radial striker is not shown on the diagrams but you can easily create the pattern by drawing a circle centered on each chime making the radius or larger than the chime radius, and expanding the outer circle to fit. An axel in the center of the striker helps to support a level mounting. An alternative to the closed radial-striker is the striker-keeper made from aluminum flat stock that allows for a more robust strike but remains more subtle than a circular striker. The closed radial striker or the keeper-striker work particularly well for gusty and high wind environments. Both produce a very pleasant and subtle sound.

Keeper-Strikers

Support disk for 3, 4, or 5 chime keeper-striker ^To Index^

Circumference hole locations are for supporting 3, 4 or 5 chimes. To support the entire chime set you can use either a 3/16 x 3 eye-bolt in the center hole or completely eliminate the three ribs and use a 3-point chain or cord mount attached to holes around the circumference, not marked. When you use an eyebolt for support, the two holes either side of the center hole are to attach the cord for the keeper-striker. You can also use a fixed striker mounted on a rod that hangs below the support disk and attaches using the center hole.
