Weatherland Chimes Aluminum and Wood Wind Chime

This is a disassembled or broken large-scale wind chime manufactured by Weatherland Chimes. The set consists of six hollow cylindrical tubes made of polished aluminum, which vary in length to provide different musical pitches. The suspension components include a circular top wooden support, a smaller circular wooden striker (clapper), and a diamond-shaped wooden wind sail (pendulum). The wood appears to be a stained hardwood with a reddish-brown finish, likely cedar or redwood, known for weather resistance. The wind sail features the 'Weatherland Chimes' brand name and a bird logo stamped in black. The construction utilizes black nylon or synthetic cordage threaded through the wooden components. In its current state, the item shows significant signs of wear and age; several of the tubes have detached from the main suspension ring, and the cordage appears tangled or snapped in places. The wooden components show surface weathering, minor scuffing around the edges, and slight fading of the finish. The aluminum tubes exhibit light surface oxidation and minor scratches consistent with outdoor exposure and metal-on-metal contact from the striker. This style is characteristic of modern outdoor decor from the late 20th to early 21st century, designed for high-quality resonance and durability.
