Various experiments on determination of Young's modulus are part of undergraduate physics laboratory curriculum. Wind chimes, a musical instrument, can also be used to determine the Young's modulus. In this paper we use an app on android device to capture and analyse the frequency of the note produced by the wind chimes.
