How can we repair weathered bamboo wind chimes?

We recently moved into a house we are renting, and the previous owners left TONS of garden statues, tools, and miscellaneous decorations in the backyard. We threw most of the stuff away, but my husband wants to keep the bamboo wind chimes we found. They have been hanging in the sun for a very long time and are quite weathered. The wood is very dry, and one piece of bamboo is actually split. Is there a way to clean and oil it or something to make it look nicer without disrupting the sound it makes? A stain, maybe, to protect it from more damage? I have moved them to a shadier spot, but would love to make them look nicer if possible. Thank you!!! =)

    All you need to do is visit a store that sells lots of spray paint and check to see if there is any spray stain in the inventory. Choose your color. And you can also use clear finish spray also. I have bought both kinds in spray cans to use on cabinet hardware and still looks new after 2 years of service.
    It’s much easier to spray round surfaces than to use a paint brush.
    Gook Luck, it should be an easy task.

    sand them down with a really high grit finishing sand paper then give them a coat of Thompson’s water seal.
