Actually it wasn't that difficult of a project. Just need a jigsaw, a router, and a glass cutter for the wood and glass parts, and then the hardware (dial, handle, movement), a screwdriver, and some elbow grease. I made sure and designed the cabinet so that the chime rods would have plenty of space to resonate. Also, the block the rods are sitting on has been hollowed out and has an opening for even greater resonance.

To switch gears for a moment, it sounds to me like the chime rods in your clock are tuned to a "G-major" octave. The Whittington and St. Michael melodies I believe are being played in "G" while the Westminster melody is being played in "C" (at least that's the key I hear them being played in). Am I correct in this assessment, or do you hear them being played in another key?

I think the lowest note is a Gb, then an A and a D.
vanni9283 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
I heard a "G", a "B", and a "D", and those are the notes that make up the "G-major" chord. What notes did you hear?
bagpiper2005 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
Might be...sounds more like a D to me, because it sounds the exact same as when I strum a D-major chord on the guitar or play it on the piano.

I think that's a "G-major" chord that it plays on the hour by the way.
