So my retired stepdad started trying to make wind chimes right, but they came out all out of tune with each other. My question can the principle of the guitar fretboard scale be applied to cutting tubes of steel in tune with each other? For instance, does a length of tube twice the length of another equal an octave tone for whatever pitch? If so, can you continue this formula for all the steps of any scale and cut appropriatley, remembering to adjust measurements for half-steps?

Nobody knows? I'm refreshing the subject to be shown on main forum page in hopes of a response.

We have a mungo set tuned to a Japanese pentatonic scale.

There were also a bunch of other tunings in the store so I guess you can pick any scale you like !!
