Wind Chimes for a Windy Day

What better to represent the wind than wind chimes?  I have two of them which are quite different.  This one is the Koshi wind chime. They come in four different melodious sounds according to the four elements:
Earth, Water, Air and Fire.

Here is some more information:
The ‘Koshi’ chime is an authentic musical instrument, an original creation of high quality.
Hand made at the foot of the Pyrenees mountains, each chime is the result of meticulous craftsmanship.
Eight chords are welded with silver into the metal plate at the base of the resonance tube.
Precise tuning creates a play of clear tones that is rich in overtones. The overtones of the shorter chords gradually dominate and become fundamentals, thus forming a circular tone range.
Koshi chimes come in four tunings. Each has a specific magic timbre and can be played harmoniously with all others.

I bought just one chime according to the tones I liked best. Guess which one?  I will say "yes" to the first person who answers correctly!

They're really worth listening to, especially if you're thinking of hanging a chime in your garden or on your balcony!
