			Usually wind chimes of any sort are played by activating them with ones hands and fingers. You can also use a mallet or whatever you have in your hand to gently activate the wind chime as well. If the wind chime is delicate, be careful not to strike the chimes, but to activate them with a gentle sweeping motion.
			In some cases, bamboo wind chimes are asked to strike them with both hands to get an aggressive clacking sound. I have done this in a few pieces, including Reginald Smith Brindle - Orion M43 for Solo Percussion.

	Often times the mark tree will be played in a descending or ascending fashion with ones fingers... giving the "turn the page" storybook sound. I often prefer gently activating the metal bars in various sections with all my fingers to give a more homogenous sound.
