Have never seen or heard them, alas, but an Arachne poster several years ago mentioned Puerto Rican bobbins that are made of bamboo and sound like wind chimes.

We had been through the lace display and were looking for the Lace Atelier (studio/workshop) that had been noted at the front gate. The signage was scarce and the hallway we'd ventured into was long and all the doors were closed. But from the far end we heard a musical, wooden tinkling. No.... We ventured down the hall and opened the door a crack. Yes! A room full of ladies of assorted ages (about 25 or so) all working away. The bobbins made the music we heard. Donna in Surrey, B.C.
