Dear Ang,

There are points of differences on hollow or solid rods:

1. Hollow wind chimes is considered by some practitioners to `carry' Qi while not as effective with a solid rod i.e. solid rods are not used for feng shui because of this ineffectiveness.

2. In terms of Five Elements, a solid wind chime is in one aspect considered to have more metal (solid rod) than a wind chime with hollow rods.

3. Based on the Five element concept, a soild rod, has more metal than a hollow rod. One analysis here is that it is not adviseable to use solid rods particularly at metal locations e.g. NW or West and at NE (devil's gate).

4. Para 3 applies more to locations at NW or West or at NE.

Therefore, I am glad that you asked this question. As the assessement does not take into account Flying Star audit to check on the imbalances of various sectors, the above is just generalised statements.

5. Alternatively, clocks with pendulum are better choice to enhance metal elements which provides a constant `tick-tock' sound.

6. The saying goes "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing." Everything we do should have a purpose. It also does not hurt not to place an object at a location. If one must, if one can do a Flying Star chart to see if there is any excessive metal element at a sector.

10. Another significance is that Five (5) represents the inauspicious star 5. I hope no one spend money and yet may get "burned" `playing' with windchime.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
