St. Michael chimes

These are the St. Michael chimes on a Hermle triple chime movement (Whittington, St. Michael, Westminster), housed inside my custom mantel case. The case is made of alternating layers of solid walnut and cherry without veneer, and purpleheart is used for the feet. The chime block contains the longest horizontal rods available at the time I bought them, and a ninth rod in a separate block was added in lieu of the standard major-chord hour strike.

@badboyforlife10195 Of all the clocks in my collection, this is the last one I would ever sell.

Where can I buy a mantle clock like this?

@pettyofficer30 You'll have to build the case yourself, but Hermle triple chime movements are always on Ebay.

@NeilCherokee i hear what you mean and i think its just background noise from the camera

I tried that too: I made a block out of steel bar stock and attached four brazing rods to it with bolts. It made a musical tone but did not resonate well. Chime rods are tapered at their captive end, while the brazing rods were not.
