The clanky sounds of cheap bamboo or the high pitched screeching of tiny metal chimes are not pleasant. I have two sets of tuned chimes in my garden that are 1" diameter. They both have 6 chimes that are tuned as a set, but they are also tuned when heard together. One set has longer chimes than the other, so when heard together the chords are much richer.

I know it sounds bougie as hell, but it's really quite a nice effect.

Where did you get them if you don't mind me asking

Also do you know the material of the metals? I wonder if it'd be worth it to have them in different metals for different timbres. Like two different instruments

Do they stay (relatively) in tune with temperature changes?
If I was tuning wind chimes, I would probably use Just intonation, not equal temperament because a wind chime play in different keys.

Exceptional circumstances excepted of course.

ECEOC?

I have used 'BOCTAOE' (but of course there are obvious exceptions) in the past, but, guilt by association, kinda stopped all that.

https://leehite.org/Chimes.htm is the best source of information I've found on chime design and length. They go into great length about the lower octaves and how you can hear them (or not).
Had to look up "Solfeggio Healing Frequencies".

There are plenty of 9-hour long YouTube videos (example [1]) cycling through the frequencies. Apparently to be played while you sleep.

Nice, although a metric version would be helpful :D
Divide inches by 25.4 for millimeters
Times inches by 25.4 for mm, there is 25.4mm in every inch.
