GUEST,John the Clockmaker	Tune Req: 1834 Clock, Plays7tunes, what are they? (92* d)	RE: Tune Req: 1834 Clock, Plays7tunes, what are they?	18 May 20
Dear all - thanks very much for your input. The clock was made in Oxford (Oxfordshire/England/UK) and the maker's shop there only finally closed in December 2019 (Rowell's). I can assure you that none of these are "standard" clock chimes and the good peolpe of EFDSS (the English Folk and Dance Song Society) have identified two of the tunes via their facebook page: Tune 1 = "Codiad yr Ehedydd": as played by musicians here> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeHTQs6VDX0&fbclid=IwAR1_NiBm9rjZlgBVQUNc9nabYGhvuwsQeJtWZGQJSwj_-tNcnxYVjWccdPU Tune 2 = "Begone Dull Care": as played by musicians here> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHgdenQwDbk&fbclid=IwAR0Whfru-iT1YoYJtCJ6HavgJpW5BsodrZ2sJbsS4UxRFBxiwM_4c2LLDAU Compared with the clock - each of these are quite recognisable. The films posted by EFDSS on facebook were of the clock playing tunes BEFORE cleaning - so they're slower/more laboured. Does that help with identification? Would it be worth my posting the "slow" versions on YouTube...? Let me know.
