Dear Cecil,
I have been given an all metal chime, in a silvery green colour, consisting of 5 rods, around which hang 5 glass dolphins. The dolphins are in a leaping pose.
I am wary of hanging up the chime as you caution against using 5 rod chimes. Please advise on the following:
# My house is a 7 year house. I do not have details of other stars. But can I add a rod to make it a 6 rod chime and hang it up, in the North direction?
# Any details to be looked into if I have to turn it into a 6 rod chime? Also, is all metal chime okay?
# Can I remove the chimes and just hang up the dolphins? Anything about the numbers if hanging up decorative things with fishes?
# If the above is okay, anything about location and placement?
Regards & many thanks

Dear Anon,
From my personal experience, it is not good to hang a wind chime with various `elements'.
For example, it is still better to hang a wind chime that has no more than two elements:
Example: A wind chime that has a wood clinger and a wooden `roof' combined with say hollow alluminium/metal rods is still OK.
But as you had described, the wind chime that may have several elements e.g. silvery green, if dolphins are blue etc...
This year, for a period 7 house, North seems a pretty bad location for most homes. Given this situation, a wind chime at North (can still be considered) unless, one has a huge open field and close to a `dirty' temple.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
