Windchimes stopped working

[Swam4Texas]

The wife picked up some of those nice hanging windchimes at a Sami show and we hung them on the backporch. The first few nights we'd sit there under the cool breeze and hear some nice, gentle clinking. Lately, though, they haven't been producing any sounds. If I blow on them directly they will emulate the sound they are supposed to make, but that's the only way I have been able to generate any kind of rhythmic chiming from them.

Any suggestions? Should I try to take them back at the next Sami show? Are there windchime repair people in the Cedar Park area? Or am I just out $17?

Do you have a fan you could hang them in front of? Unless you're on Ocean Drive in Corpus, I don't know what to tell you.

What brand are they?

Have you called tech support?
