    Our chime instrument works by vibrating chimes that produce vibrations at different wavelengths and frequencies that we hear. We decided to use a emt metal pipe because it resonates very well, producing a clear and loud sound. The longer chimes will produce a deeper lower sound, because they make longer wave lengths and less waves per seconds creating a lower frequency.
