This product includes 30 feet of black 300 gauge braided Terylene string to be used with Windsinger Chimes of King David and Windsinger Chimes of Apollo.
Here's where you can find chime stringing instructions, along with a how-to video.
The string life depends on the amount of UV exposure and the strength of the winds where your chime is hanging. Under normal conditions, the string should last 7-8 years.
