Description

Spired and fretted like some deconstructed and inverted Borogravian castle, this assemblage of tubes - some blown from glass, some carved from crystal in a multitude of swirling colours, and some of octiron - chimes and twinkles in each passing breeze.  They hang from a plate of solid octiron, inlaid with glyphs and bearing a dedicatory inscription.
Sparkles of octarine light constantly bloom and dance around the chimes.
It appears to have something written on it.

You read the set of octiron and crystal wind chimes:
Written in flourishing letters:
Octavius Semelustrius, Professor of Musicology, set me here on this day the 17th of Grune, Year of the Concussed Ocelot, for the delight and edification of All Wizardry.

(Note that the line about sparkles of octarine light only shows up if you can see octarine.)

Play, tap, or ring

Bonus Range	Message
194	You prod the octiron and crystal wind chimes, somehow producing a dull and leaden clanging sound from the ethereally delicate instrument. The sound attempts to hover in the air for a moment before giving up and splashing muddily on the ground.
194 - 278	You poke the octiron and crystal wind chimes, which sway listlessly and emit a desultory cucumber-flavoured chord.
259 - 283	You tap the octiron and crystal wind chimes a few times, and a few muddy-looking chords sound out wearily.
259 - 292	You tap the wind chimes lightly, causing a resonant tone and a ripple of light.
278 - 292	You play a few simple notes on the octiron and crystal wind chimes, which drop a trail of sparks down to the cobbles.
278 - 292	You tap a couple of the wind chimes in quick succession, with a complex chord and the smell of bacon.
276	You tap the wind chimes in an intricate pattern, producing a crescendo of delicate bell-like chords that smell of spring mornings in an orchard and trail clouds of apple-coloured light behind them.
298	You play a complex tune on the octiron and crystal wind chimes, producing a rippling rainbow of chords that swell into the scent of seaweed and lavender and the texture of a cat's fur, before coalescing into a shimmering dragonfly and zipping away.
