I finally found a simple solution to overactive windchimes. Mine are the large metal ones, a low sort of sound, but on a very windy day not as relaxing.

I've tried several things, but what finally worked was moving the middle sail out of the way and then attaching a wooden clothes pin to the bottom of each tube.

Been windy all day, and I think I actually silenced it!

For any windchime haters out there, be kind, please. My neighborhood has huge lots, frequent traffic, and barky dogs. The chimes are actually a calm, welcoming noise. Just needed a way to keep it a bit more mellow on windy days, but I may try out tips I've read to help muffle the sound a bit more on non-windy days.
