I have a set of silverware wind chimes that I bought for wifey when we vacationed in Gordonsville, VA one summer. One of the utensils fell off making it unbalanced, so it's been put away for repair some day. I've collected a couple dozen pieces that I picked up at thrift stores in the area, before people realized it was silver plated. Hopefully I have something to balance it back out. They actually had a beautiful sound, and I don't care for wind chimes all that much.
As far as soldering paste, I played hell trying to find any in local stores that was suitable for electronics. I ended up at Radio Shack on PF. None of the local hardware stores carried it.
