This is what I was dealing with while trying to practice last week. The broken chimes just went off at random. One guy in the audience said they're supposed to go off every 15 minutes, but that's never happened before--not in the 7 years I've been performing here. I did find which stop was triggering the chimes during practice. This time, though, they just went off when they felt like it. The organ is in quite sad condition due to a lack of maintenance & probably lack of funding as well. Plus, there haven't been very many organ students for quite some time now.
It has also been quite cool lately--the organ isn't very fond of cold weather. It really let me know that during practice!
Needless to say, the chimes were quite entertaining! And we all had a festive time as well! I'm still laughing at those chimes.
