5 Tube Grandfather Clock Chimes
5 Tube Grandfather Clock Chimes
SOLD $495.00 Sold: Oct 4, 2023 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
eBay This is a extremely nice 5 Tube set by Elite Manufactured in the USA.No cracks in either side of any of the tubes.Very loud and great resonance.They have been in climate controlled storage for 10 years and need a good cleaning and polishing.There is tape residue towards the top of the hour tube, however it will clean off.I installed new string which may need adjusting to align with your hammers properly.See photos for lengthsThe tube diameter is: 1.5”These are easily on par with the last set of Durfee tubes I had, as good or better.I am attempting to upload a video of the sound.Please bear in mind I have them hanging on a single screw, and the string is touching the tube, this doesn’t make a giant difference in sound, but does change it some, also I am using a plastic tipped mallet to strike the tubes. A leather tipped hammer will sound better. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
