I love it! It makes a beautiful sound and is so cute. I didn't use the paper thing included because it would be ruined in the first rain. I took a paper bookmark and wrapped it in clear mailing tape and hung it from the string. It started blowing in the wind right away. Absolutely perfect!

My mother-in-law has a wonderful bell hanging off one of her paperbark birches that she received as a gift. After spending a lovely afternoon on her patio listening to it in the slightest breeze, I knew I wanted to hang bells off the trees in my garden as well. The first bell I got was lovely to look at, but the clapper was too heavy to make a sound except possibly in the strongest gust of wind, or if you violently shook the branch. This is the second one I got, and though as small and delicate as it is, I can hear it from inside the house. I am definitelly planning on adding all the other designs of this bell to my wishlist and eventually to my garden.

I had one of these little bells years ago, and someone stole it off the inside of my storm door. I am glad I finally found a replacement. It is even better looking then in the photo. Nice colors, and and glazing, really pretty. I had read other reviews about some of the bells for sale, so I was worried about the sound; but it has the same a sweet little sound as my other one. I see there is a bundle of bells for sale too, I think I'll look into those as well.

I love chimes. Last year we went to Japan and I completely forgot to buy one. This is the way they are in Japan, just a paper is attached. Wind can easily make it to chime and the sound is so delightful.Just put it under roof or any cover from the rain.

Cute and what I expected from having several of these types of windchimes in the past. It seems well made and I expect it to last a long time.I hung it in our small courtyard placing it on an iron hanger attached to the fence. It's about four feet from the ground and the area gets enough breeze/wind to set the paper attached to the clapper spinning. I'm not sure why, but the clapper does not often hit the turtle so even though the paper is spinning fast, the clapper does not tap the sides of the turtle. I am speculating that maybe it's because the turtle is wide. Perhaps if it were more narrow, the clapper would hit it as often as I'd expect during a strong breeze/wind.Update: 28 June 2021. I changed my rating from 4* to 5*. After going through several heavy rain storms, the clapper is ringing more in the breeze/wind as I originally expected. Perhaps the chime has settled and the angle allows the clapper to hit more frequently. The paper flag has weathered the rain very well and shows no sign of deterioration.

I got this wind chime at the recommendation of my adult daughter. I questioned whether something so tiny could make some decent sound. Oh boy. I hung it up in my fig tree and it is a very pretty sound and you can hear it all over my front yard. It is not the classic beauty but the sound more than makes up for it! I love it! Highly recommended.

I did not get the bell I ordered - I ordered an owl but got a whale.This is why I am rating 3 stars.Nonetheless it's a cute chime and makes a nice sound.

Purchased the turtle, the goldfish, and the whale. Love them all, but I do agree with another reviewer, that the turtle one sounds the best, purely crisp and clean.I use bird feeder chains to hang them to get the height I prefer.As far as I know, the wind catcher paper is specially made of cotton and pulp, so I wouldn't worry about leaving them in the rain and getting wet too much.Also, if you do leave them outside in the rain, the rust may build around the brim. Simply applying some oil with kitchen towel will take care of the problem, as how you season the cast iron pan.Get it if want to listen to the wind.

Careful manufactured and tuned, this bell whispers its beautiful song in my garden. Suspension, rope length and windsail are precisely trimmed. The day the Windsail will give up, il will replicate its dimensions with some Washi Japanese paper. My little garden is filled with some excellent “music of the spheres” windchimes, Tibetan bell, Chinese Windgong, 4 furins... This Japanese windbell is on top of the pyramid

Great little bell, love the sound!! Fast delivery too

The ring inside for ringing does not seem original. The item appears tampered. The wind catcher is itself a paper

I bought the bell chime as it stated it’s Japanese Iwachu. Received the product, there’s no brand marking that it’s an Iwachu. Iwachu has pride in their products with markings of the name Iwachu on all their products. The advert description is misleading.
