Ave Maria Chime Extended Video

Many viewers of my previous video of this chime wanted to see the entire clock and hear the complete chime sequence so I made this video of a clock I sold recently during delivery. It is a Sligh grandfather clock with the Kieninger Concerto movement. The lower quarters do not actually play a chime like a typical floor clock. Instead, it plays a strike pattern; one strike at quarter after, two strikes at the half and three strikes at quarter till. The other unique quality of this movement is that it plays the chimes on 12 rods instead of 8. This is necessary due to the fact that some of the notes needed to be repeated in rapid succession. In order to accomplish this, several of the chime rods are tuned to the same note so that two hammers, side by side, can drop with a shorter interval between them to create the repeated note. The video ends with the second hand rotating in the second's bit.
