From Wind Chime Design by Lee Hite www.leehite.org/Chimes.htm Updated 7/17/2016 Page 1 of 53 Wind Chime Support Disk & Striker Patterns Contents include: Tubing sizes from ½” to 2” in ¼” increments Chime sets for 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8 chimes Generic layout patterns for 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8 points or sides Instructions Each chime pattern is formatted to print on 8 ½” x 11” paper. A few oversized diagrams are divided between two sheets for ease of printing. Each pattern includes several overlays on the same diagram. Blue dots represent a support location for either a single mount chime tube or a dual hanging mount arranged to the side of the tube. Occasionally, a tube may share a side mount location with its neighbor because of crowding. Red dots represent suggested locations for a three-point hanging mount to support the disk or ring. Green Dots are suggested locations for a four-point hanging mount to support the disk or ring. The black dot defines the pattern center. The Green circles around the circumference indicate the chime tube location and size. The outer most circle is the diameter of the support disk The inner circle is a suggested size for a circular striker Orange The Blue star like pattern is a suggested “radial striker” used to synchronize the strike to several chimes or to produce a quieter and more subtle sound. An alternative to the radial-striker is the striker-keeper made from aluminum flat stock that allows for a more robust strike but remains more subtle than a circular striker. The striker-keeper works particularly well for gusty and high wind environments and produces a very pleasant and subtle sound.

Wind Chime Support Disk & Striker Patterns Contents include:
Tubing sizes from ½” to 2” in ¼” increments Chime sets for 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8 chimes
Generic layout patterns for 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8 points or sides
Instructions Each chime pattern is formatted to print on 8 ½” x 11” paper. A few oversized diagrams are divided between two sheets for ease of printing. Each pattern includes several overlays on the same diagram.
Blue dots represent a support location for either a single mount chime tube or a dual hanging mount arranged to the side of the tube. Occasionally, a tube may share a side mount location with its neighbor because of crowding.
Red dots represent suggested locations for a three-point hanging mount to support the disk or ring.
Green Dots are suggested locations for a four-point hanging mount to support the disk or ring.
The black dot defines the pattern center.
The Green circles around the circumference indicate the chime tube location and size.
The outer most circle is the diameter of the support disk
The inner circle is a suggested size for a circular striker Orange
The Blue star like pattern is a suggested “radial striker” used to synchronize the strike to several chimes or to produce a quieter and more subtle sound.
An alternative to the radial-striker is the striker-keeper made from aluminum flat stock that allows for a more robust strike but remains more subtle than a circular striker.
The striker-keeper works particularly well for gusty and high wind environments and produces a very pleasant and subtle sound.

Keeper-Strikers
Support disk for 3, 4, or 5 chime keeper-striker ^To Index^
Circumference hole locations are for supporting 3, 4 or 5 chimes. To support the entire chime set you can use
either a 3/16” x 3” eye-bolt in the center hole or completely eliminate the three ribs and use a 3-point chain or
cord mount attached to holes around the circumference, not marked. When you use an eyebolt for support, the
two holes either side of the center hole are to attach the cord for the keeper-striker. You can also use a fixed
striker mounted on a ¼” rod that hangs below the support disk and attaches using the center hole.
