This is a large chime with a ring of aluminium tubes struck by a knocker activated not by the wind, but by a person on a central swing. Play a tune by swinging in different directions or close your eyes, twist yourself up, push back and then sway and twirl wildly to a random cacophony.
The motorized
version turns the ring exactly, so that lazy, straight oscillations are accompanied by a melody in the same tempo.

One of your best illustrations ever, John. |

Ha! But I think you'll drive the neighbors, and just possibly yourself, nuts. |

This is genius... a bit loud though! |

Curse you, Geocities, and whatever evil deed you have done to deserve blockage from my school network! |

Has anyone been kind enough to mirror FarmerJohn's site? |

Ask not for whom the swing tolls. |
