      Now available The Chimes tubes are hung from this type of ring. While most Chime companies such as Music of Spheres use this type of ring for tube suspension, the hobbyist has been using a wood disc because of the lack of availability of the rings.

GR-2    $3.95 pkg/20    use for 1/8"+ (0.125") Tube wall thickness

Wind Chime String
String is Included in the kit. However if you need string....we have a variety, one of which will definitely suit your needs. The strings are made of Braided Dacron especially for Wind Chimes. Therefore they are extremely durable, strong and have the ability to withstand the weather. The string should last well beyond your expectations. Fishing line can be used, but totally lacks the components and thickness for long term weather durability. For the few cents involved, the proper string is a good investment.

Re-assembling an existing chime set
For those that are purchasing the string to repair an existing set, a Tech sheet is available at N/C.
Note:If you have a drill bit set, compare the drill bits to the string diameters to get an idea of what the sizes look like

String Quality
Strength - Measured in pounds lifted to the breaking point. It is a factor in durability, but only plays a minor role.
Durability - Several factors affect the lasting quality. The type of yarn, the test (ie 250lbs), braided construction, weather resistant chemistry and finally thickness. One of the more important factors is the diameter. Our Wind Chime string is designed to take the test of time, weather and to be long lasting. However, thicker will last longer
Weather Resistant - The sun is the enemy. To retard UV degradation a chemical inhibitor is added to the yarn. Additionally and equally important is the color of the yarn. Black is the least affected by UV rays.
Braided Dacron - Stable, will not stretch. Provides flexibility which retards wear and in addition enables it to hold a knot.
