We don't know because there is a strange quantum rule in our local Universe which prohibits lead gongs. Don't believe me? Ever seen one? :D

Simple answer, Anything and everything could be added to a wind-chime depending on the scale of the thing you could hang old car bodies off it, Practical use would be in Hurricane season, See a Hillman Hunter fly past your kitchen window then its time to get the hell away....

If it doesn't go ding or dong (say if you used animal carcasses then tell them its for visual effect, or brand it art and back it up with some utter utter nonsense, just like real art.

I think it’s a trick question, You should have fired back "what can't be used on a wind chime?"
