The Chimes Of St. Mary

By Brian, 5th Grade

The Chimes of St. Mary is a member of the percussion section. My Dad and I made it by using different sizes and length of copper tubing. We used brackets and fishing wire to hold it all together.

The wider tubing makes the lower pitches and the thinner tubing makes the higher pitches. The different lengths of tubing also make different pitches and sounds. I used a piece of copper tubing as my mallet to make music.
