Try different sized of ridgid copper pipe from your local plumbing
supply company.  You can polish it to get the lettering and dirt off.
If you wish you can treat it for a nice patina.  It has a good sound.
Comes in different diameters.  I would suggest at least 3/4 inch for
wind chimes with a deep tone.  You can get it up to 3 inch diameter.
It comes in quite long lengths and can be easily worked.
