The best wind chimes, compared.
Top pick: Febbya 58 cm 12-tube chime Best value: Rdutuok 81 cm bamboo chime – About £18.99, with 4.6 from 1,162 reviews and a quieter woody knock than metal. Strings did not last for every buyer, so it is the best value only if you will check them. Updated October 2026.
A wind chime for a UK garden is a hanging ornament. The sail or the tubes move in the wind and strike a note. Across the twelve amazon.co.uk listings, the split is bamboo, aluminium tubes, small copper-alloy bells, one solar resin chime, and a French that the listing marks as indoor. A stated length from hook to sail, a material you can name, and reviews that talk about sound are what separate them. The Wind Chime in measures overall length from the hanging ring to the wind catcher, and it defines pentatonic as five notes so that random strikes still sound acceptable. A 948 g aluminium chime is a different object from a 90 g tube set. The [wind chimes buying guide](/hub/diy-supplies/wind-chimes/sub/wind-chimes-buying-guide) covers length, material and the neighbour question.

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
Where will it hang?
The Febbya lists 12 aluminium tubes, a stated 58 cm length and a hook, at £5.89 and 90 g. The star line is 5.0 from 3 ratings, and the saved listing holds one UK text. That buyer wanted a tinkling noise and hung it as stimulation for a canary, which they say sings to it. The text states no fault, so there is no defect to report and none is invented here. The bullets say rust-proof aluminium, a pine top, weather resistance and no assembly. A 5.0 from three ratings is not the same evidence as 4.8 from 6,129. The dimensions cell is 58 x 8.5 x 58 cm, which repeats the length in an odd way. Choose it as a light sheltered tinkle, including near a bird, if the tube count is what you want. Skip it as proof of weather life, because one UK text cannot show that.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A light indoor or sheltered tinkle, including near a bird, when you want 12 tubes.
Less suitable: Anyone treating three ratings as proof of tone or of outdoor life.
Specifications
Common questions
How many tubes does the Febbya chime have?
The title and the bullets say 12 aluminium tubes. The stated length is 58 cm.
Does it need assembly?
The bullets say no assembly is required and that a hook is included.
Will it rust, according to the listing?
The bullet says rust-proof aluminium and a pine top. The special-features field says Weather Resistant. Only one UK review text is in the file.
The Koshi Terra is a small tuned instrument at £35, with 4.9 from 1,889 reviews, and the indoor/outdoor field says Indoor. The long side is 16.5 cm, the weight is 155 g, and the sound profile prints G C E F G C E G, which is a named scale rather than a vague tuned line. UK texts describe a musical tone used in sound baths, yoga and by a door on a cup hook, and they also say it is smaller than the photo. Several say they would not leave it outside, one says the bamboo is not varnished, and a stand is not listed. Some of the 50 stored texts are about other Koshi tunings from the same line. Choose it for an indoor window or a class, where the notes are the point. Skip it as a year-round garden chime, because the word wind chime in the title is not a reason to hang it in the rain.
Pros
Cons
Best for: An indoor door, window or class where you want a printed tuning.
Less suitable: A garden, porch or grave marker that stays out in British rain.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the Koshi Terra listed for outdoor use?
The indoor/outdoor field says Indoor. UK reviews say they would not leave it outside, or that it needs protection.
What tuning is printed?
The sound profile says G C E F G C E G. The bullet prints g c e f g c e g. The colour cell prints Terra (C E F G).
Does it come with a stand?
The listing asks the question and does not list a stand. Number of items is 1.
The Acual is six bamboo tubes and a beech top at £9.99, with 4.9 from 7 ratings and a listed weight of 293 g. Only one of five review texts is marked United Kingdom, and that text calls the sound lovely and relaxing, while two texts are from Spain and two from Germany, including a Vine note that the bamboo shape shows the low price. The title says 67 cm and the dimensions cell is 12 x 12 x 8 cm, so the printed lengths clash. A metal S hook is included, and a bullet mentions a coating for everyday moisture, while the year-round outdoor question on the listing is left blank. A 4.9 from seven ratings is not a track record you can set beside 1,162 reviews. Choose it only if a cheap bamboo title and a hook are enough. Skip it if you need a UK review pattern or a length that matches the dimensions cell.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A low-priced bamboo chime with a hook, if you will not treat seven stars as evidence.
Less suitable: Anyone who wants a UK review pattern or one length that the cells agree on.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the Acual chime include a hook?
Yes. The bullets say a metal S-shaped hook is included.
How long is it?
The title says 67 cm. The dimensions cell says 12 x 12 x 8 cm. Both figures are printed.
Is year-round outdoor use answered?
The listing asks the question and does not answer it. A bullet mentions a coating for everyday moisture.
The ASTARIN is the top pick in this set because amazon.co.uk shows 4.8 from 6,129 reviews at £29.60, the largest count here. Six aluminium tubes are listed at 36 inches, the height cell is 91.4 cm, and the weight is 948 g. One UK review says that 36 inches is the full length from hook to sail, not the tube length. UK texts call the tone deep and not tinny, and they mention a memorial card and a hook in the box. One buyer brought it indoors because it was very loud, and another said the black cord snapped in high wind, with one tube coming off. A printed mark also rubbed off where the tubes strike. Choose it for a covered porch where a deep ring is welcome. Skip it beside a bedroom window or a neighbour who already minds noise.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A covered porch or garden spot where you want the deepest, best-reviewed aluminium chime in this set.
Less suitable: A bedroom window, a tight terrace next to neighbours, or a spot that takes the full force of a gale.
Specifications
Common questions
How long is the ASTARIN chime?
The title says 36 inch. The dimensions cell is 13 x 13 x 91.4 cm. One UK review says that 36 inches is the full length from hook to sail.
Does the ASTARIN listing include a card?
The sympathy bullet says a greeting card is included. The occasion field says Funeral.
Is the ASTARIN chime marked for outdoor use?
The indoor/outdoor field says Outdoor. The bullets say powder coated and anodised aluminium. A UK review also says a cord snapped in high wind.
The FONMY hangs six aluminium tubes at £21.99, with 4.7 from 897 UK-labelled reviews and a listed weight of 680 g. The title says 33 inch, while the dimensions cell is 73.7 x 17.8 x 2.5 cm, so those two printed lengths do not match. UK texts call the tone melodic and deeper than small tinkly chimes, and one says it stood up to stormy weather with no rust or rot yet. Another says it is too loud, one says only two strings connect the tubes to the hook so it does not hang level, and a further text says a bracket was not supplied even though the bullet names stainless S hooks. Bamboo parts sit with the anodised tubes, so this is not a pure bamboo chime. Choose it when you want a mid-price aluminium sound and you will check the hook on arrival. Skip it if the stated length has to match the dimensions cell.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A porch where you want aluminium tubes in the mid price of this set and will inspect the hook.
Less suitable: A buyer who needs one length figure, or a chime that stays quiet on a windy day.
Specifications
Common questions
Can the FONMY chime be hung indoors?
The bullets say it is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. The special-features field says Weather Resistant.
Does FONMY state a length?
The title says 33 inch. The dimensions cell is 73.7 x 17.8 x 2.5 cm. Those two figures are both printed and they do not match.
Are hooks included?
The first bullet names stainless steel S hooks. One UK review says a bracket or hook was not supplied.
The QhgPnt is a black metal chime at £9.49, with 4.7 from 19 reviews and 10 UK texts. The title says 71 cm and uses the words Koshi Chimes. The brand is QhgPnt, the origin is China, and this is not the French Koshi Terra, which is ASIN B00OG2A1DO. The dimensions cell is 10 x 10 x 1 cm, the weight is 110 g, and UK reviews call it small and lightweight, with a soft tinkling tone. One buyer used the sound instead of a doorbell. Another hung it under a carport so birds would not rebuild a nest. The size comment is the only repeated reservation, and no defect is described. Choose it for a small soft tinkle if you have read the brand cell. Skip it if you wanted the French instrument, or a 71 cm garden chime the dimensions cell does not support.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A small soft tinkle under a carport or by a door, once you know it is not the French Koshi.
Less suitable: Anyone who wanted the Koshi Terra, or a chime that is actually 71 cm.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this the French Koshi chime?
No. The brand is QhgPnt and the origin is China. The French Koshi Terra in this set is ASIN B00OG2A1DO.
How long is the QhgPnt chime?
The title says 71 cm. The dimensions cell is 10 x 10 x 1 cm. UK reviews call it small.
Does it come with a hook?
The bullets say it is ready to hang and includes the necessary components. They do not name the hook.
The VerdeBlomm is £5.49, with 4.7 from 10 reviews and six UK texts, none of which states a fault. Anodised colourful aluminium tubes, small bells and a wooden butterfly sail make up a 95 g chime. The dimensions cell is 51 x 8.5 x 2 cm, and the hanging-cord length is asked on the listing and not given. The indoor/outdoor field says Indoor, Outdoor. The texts praise a rainbow look and a soothing sound, and one buyer received two. That file is too small to treat a 4.7 as equal to 4.8 from 6,129. There is no winter report and no complaint to weigh. Choose it as a light decorative chime when the colour matters and you accept a thin review file. Skip it if you need a stated cord length or any pattern of how it survives a British winter.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A light, colourful hanging decoration when you accept a very small UK review file.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a stated cord length or evidence of a winter outdoors.
Specifications
Common questions
What is the VerdeBlomm chime made of?
The material field lists aluminium, metal, nylon string and wood. The finish is anodised. A wooden sail with a butterfly engraving is named.
Is it listed for indoor use?
The indoor/outdoor field says Indoor, Outdoor.
How long is the hanging cord?
The listing asks and does not answer. The dimensions cell is 51 x 8.5 x 2 cm.
The Winzwon is a resin solar chime at £9.34, with 4.6 from 4,124 UK-labelled reviews, the second-largest count in this set. Six LEDs charge in the sun, the height cell is 50 cm, the weight is 230 g, and no mains plug is listed. Most of the stored UK texts talk about colour-changing lights at night, including one that glowed into the early hours, and they treat it as a gift. Others say the lights never work, later stay red, or that the purple fades in the sun. Strings are called too short, so the pieces wrap, and one text says high winds are a problem unless it hangs indoors. A few texts mention a sound the recipient liked, which is not the same as a tube review. Choose it when the night lights are the reason to buy. Skip it if you want a tone you can judge from the file, because the sound is barely discussed.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A gift where colour-changing solar lights at night are the point.
Less suitable: Anyone choosing a chime for its tone, or a spot that takes high wind.
Specifications
Common questions
How many lights does the Winzwon chime have?
The listing says six LED solar lights. The power source is solar power.
Does it plug into the mains?
No plug is listed. The bullets say it charges in direct sun and glows at night.
What do UK reviews say about the lights?
Many praise the colours at night. Others say the lights never work, later stay red, or that the colour fades in sun.
The Rdutuok is the best value in this set if you want a bamboo knock rather than a metal ring. It is £18.99, with 4.6 from 1,162 UK-labelled reviews, six tubes, an S hook and a listed weight of 580 g. The bullets put the length at 81 cm from the hanging ring to the bottom hanger, which matches the 32 inch title within ordinary rounding. UK reviews describe a gentle woody sound in a light breeze, quieter than metal chimes the same buyers already owned, and two texts say it was still sounding after 18 months or a second year. Others call it too quiet unless the wind is up, or not melodious, and several say the strings did not last. The outdoor field is Outdoor, and the look weathers. Choose it for a small garden where a local knock is enough and you will check the strings. Skip it if you want a deep ring you can hear from the house.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A small garden where you want a local bamboo knock, a stated length and a large UK review file.
Less suitable: Anyone who wants a deep ring that carries into the house, or a cord you never have to replace.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the Rdutuok chime include a hook?
Yes. The bullets say an S hook is included and that no toolbox is needed.
How long is the Rdutuok chime?
The bullets say 81 cm from the hanging ring to the bottom hanger. The title says 32 inch. Those match within ordinary rounding.
Is it listed for outdoor use?
The indoor/outdoor field says Outdoor. UK reviews include both a second year of sound and strings that did not last.
The VEKEK is six copper-alloy bells at £6.99, with 4.4 from 96 reviews, 44 UK texts and a listed weight of 100 g. The bullet says about 48 cm, while the dimensions cell says 40 x 20 x 10 millimetres, so both figures are printed and they clash. UK texts like a gentle sound and a vintage look, including on a flat balcony, and some say it looks dearer than the price. Several say it arrived so tangled that the strings could not be undone, including one that went in the bin and one that was returned. Others call the ring too soft to hear from outside the front door, or say it lasted a couple of weeks. Choose it for a quiet balcony bell if you will spend time untangling it on the day it arrives. Skip it if you want a tone that carries, or a length you can trust from one cell.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A quiet balcony where a soft bell is enough and you will untangle the strings.
Less suitable: A buyer who wants a tone that carries, or one length figure that matches.
Specifications
Common questions
How many bells are on the VEKEK chime?
The title says six bells. The material is copper alloy.
How tall is it?
The bullet says about 48 cm or 18.89 inch. The dimensions cell says 40 x 20 x 10 millimetres. Both are printed.
What do UK reviews say about the strings?
Several say the chime arrived so tangled that the strings could not be undone. Others like the soft sound once it is hanging.
The TAGMEIU title says 12 aluminium tubes at £5.99 and 120 g, with 4.2 from 49 reviews and 13 UK texts. No hanging length is printed, the dimensions cell is 20 x 15 x 1.6 cm, which reads like a packed size, and a hook is not confirmed. The material field says metal while the title says aluminium. Some UK texts call the sound gentle or pretty, and one mentions shimmering sounds, while others call it a thin clank, say it tangles after a moment in the wind, or say the pieces barely move on a windy night. The listing profile says deep and calming, which those texts do not back, and one buyer notes that a cheap chime will not sound like an expensive tuned one. Choose it only as a colourful tube set you can return if the tone is wrong. Skip it if you need a stated length, a hook, or a deep tone.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A cheap colourful tube set you are willing to return if the tone is thin.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a stated length, a confirmed hook, or a deep tone.
Specifications
Common questions
How long is the TAGMEIU chime?
No hanging length is printed. The dimensions cell is 20 x 15 x 1.6 cm and the weight is 120 g.
Does it include a hook?
The listing asks and does not confirm a hook.
What do UK reviews say about the sound?
Some call it gentle or pretty. Others call it a thin clank, say it tangles quickly, or say it barely moves.
The Generic listing is £12.99 with no customer-reviews line and no review texts, so the amazon.co.uk rating is not available. The bullets say bamboo tubes, a soothing tone and an S hook, the dimensions cell is 15 x 5 x 52 cm, and the weight is 180 g. The brand cell is Generic, the colour cell reads Nomal, and there is no material field to confirm the bamboo line. Indoor and outdoor use is claimed in a bullet, but there is no UK voice here to say whether it knocks, cracks or stays hung. At this price that is a dearer unknown than several chimes in this set that at least have texts. The Rdutuok, at £18.99 with 1,162 reviews, is the bamboo listing you can actually judge. Choose this only if you accept a page with no star line. Skip it when you want any evidence of sound or of how the strings last.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Only a buyer who accepts a bamboo-style listing with no amazon.co.uk rating.
Less suitable: Anyone who wants review evidence of sound, weather or how the strings last.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this chime include a hook?
The bullets say a practical S-shaped hook is included.
What are the tubes made of?
The bullets say bamboo. There is no material field.
What is the amazon.co.uk rating?
The saved listing has no customer-reviews line, so the rating is not available.
Scores use the twelve amazon.co.uk listings kept in this comparison, priced from about £5.49 to about £35. They are not a laboratory test and not a noise measurement. Each score starts from the star line times ten, adds up to 20 points for the size of the review file, and adds points when length, hook, material and indoor or outdoor use are printed. Clashes between cells, a thin UK file, a snapped cord and loudness are taken off. A missing reviews line scores 0 for stars. The shares below are those three parts, set so they add to 100.
Amazon star line
50%Fifty points for the amazon.co.uk star line, counted as the stars times ten. A 4.8 contributes 48. A 4.2 contributes 42. A listing with no customer-reviews line contributes 0. The stars are only as strong as the texts behind them.
Size of the review file
20%Twenty points for how many reviews the listing shows. A file in the thousands takes the full 20. Ten reviews contribute 8. Three reviews contribute 5. Seven ratings, with only one text from the United Kingdom, stay low. No reviews line contributes 0.
Printed length, hook, material and use
30%Thirty points for a stated overall length, a named material, a hook and an indoor or outdoor field, including a printed tuning where the listing gives note names. Clashes, such as 71 cm in the title and 10 cm in the cell, come off this share, as do a cord that snapped, strings that tangled, and a file that talks about lights rather than sound.
Start with the sound you can live with next door, then the overall length from hook to sail. Bamboo knocks and does not resonate like metal. A heavy aluminium chime rings deeper and can be loud. Read the material and the indoor or outdoor field before the word tuned. A rigid S-hook goes straight onto the support. Prices in this set, on amazon.co.uk, run from about £5.49 to about £35. None of these scores is a laboratory test or a noise measurement.
A wind chime is a hanging ornament. A sail or a set of tubes moves in the wind and strikes a note. On the twelve amazon.co.uk listings here, the split is bamboo, aluminium tubes, small copper-alloy bells, a solar resin chime with six LEDs, and one French Koshi Terra that the listing marks as indoor. Quality shows up as a stated overall length from hook to sail, a material you can name, a cord and hook that survive a gale, and a review file that talks about sound rather than only about lights.
The Wind Chime Shop measures from the hanging ring to the wind catcher. On the ASTARIN listing, 36 inches matches the 91.4 cm height cell, and one UK review says that is hook to sail, not the tube length.
A rigid S-hook should go straight onto the support. A loose extra cord lets the whole chime swing and stay quiet. Take a large chime down, or bind it, when the wind reaches gale force.
The Koshi Terra is the French instrument, ASIN B00OG2A1DO, and the usage field says Indoor. The QhgPnt title uses the word Koshi, but the brand is QhgPnt and the origin is China. Three ratings are not equal to 6,129.
Sound you can live with next door comes first. Bamboo is quieter and does not resonate like metal, which is why The Wind Chime Shop suggests it when a neighbour objects. The Rdutuok, six tubes at 81 cm and about £18.99, is the bamboo file you can judge: 4.6 from 1,162 reviews, with UK texts that call it a woody knock and others that call it too quiet. A 948 g aluminium chime is a different object from a 90 g tube set.
Aluminium alloy does not rust, but it can pit, and powder coat can flake if tubes knock in a gale. A UK review of the ASTARIN says the black cord snapped in high wind. Bamboo cracks with humidity. Those cracks are described as normal and not fatal to the sound, and the chime should come in for a harsh winter. The Koshi usage field says Indoor. Hang from a rigid S-hook straight onto the support. The Rdutuok and the Acual include an S hook.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want a local knock, not a ring that carries into the next house. The Rdutuok is six bamboo tubes, 81 cm and 580 g, at about £18.99, with 4.6 from 1,162 reviews. UK texts call it quieter than metal. Strings did not last for more than one buyer, so you will check them. It is the best value on those terms.
You want the heaviest aluminium chime in this set and you have read the loudness texts. The ASTARIN is six tubes, 91.4 cm and 948 g, at about £29.60, with 4.8 from 6,129 reviews. UK texts call the tone deep. One buyer brought it indoors because it was very loud, and one cord snapped in high wind. It is the top pick for a covered porch.
You are buying a gift, and someone at the house can hang it. The ASTARIN bullets include a greeting card, and the occasion field says Funeral. It is still a 948 g chime that UK texts call loud. If the garden is tight against a neighbour, the Rdutuok bamboo is the quieter gift in this set. A chime is a poor gift where nobody can hang it.
The top pick is the ASTARIN 36 inch aluminium chime at about £29.60. It is the highest score in this set: six aluminium tubes, a 91.4 cm height cell, 948 g, and 4.8 from 6,129 reviews, the largest count here. UK texts call the tone deep. One buyer found it very loud, and one said the cord snapped in high wind. The best value is the Rdutuok 81 cm bamboo chime at about £18.99, with 4.6 from 1,162 reviews, when you want a quieter woody knock and will check the strings. The Koshi Terra is an indoor tuned instrument, not a year-round garden chime.
Rdutuok 81 cm bamboo chime
About £18.99, with 4.6 from 1,162 reviews and a quieter woody knock than metal. Strings did not last for every buyer, so it is the best value only if you will check them.
