Regions > Red Sea Oasis > Sphinx > Chimes

Note that because the requirements vary by construction site, goal should be AT LEAST 7*28 fine glass rods, and then someone who knows chimes needs to salvage and rebuild the site until 7 easy-ish ones are required.

 *Rough rating of effort:  Sum of distance removed from each starting point.
 "+" if you have to pass through Diving Condor, which seems to be a fussy point.

Notes

For chime makers, please list chimes you know how to make reliably, and rate the quickness/ease to make them. (with 0 being easiest/fastest -- I am thinking of maybe using number of treatment steps as the rating. If you can make it but don't know exact number, just estimate). That way, we can have a list of what to shoot for when putting up, tearing down, putting up con site, looking for a suitable list of chimes. :)

I can make any chime specified using RSO public lab. I'll see if I can get to listing relative difficulty of them. If I have time, it may be possible to post "recipes" for some of them. No, I don't want to do them all myself -- I did that last time and it took too long. --Sola
Another thought: we may with to team up with other Sphinx groups and do one Sphinx's chimes at a time. That way less has to be done at one strech. --Sola

I can also make any chime specified using the Sunset acoustics lab. For whatever reason, I find it easier to do chimes on the lower half of the Chime Tuning chart, e.g., all of the rows from the one that starts with Hovering Gull downward are easier for me than the ones above that. -- Nikka
