GUEST,John the Clockmaker Tune Req: 1834 Clock, Plays7tunes, what are they? (92* d) RE: Tune Req: 1834 Clock, Plays7tunes, what are they? 19 May 20


Helen, Starship - thanks for all your suggestions and input. A more skilled musician than I would be needed to do the notation (like most guitarists - I play by ear!). I did do films - rather than audio recordings - in case anybody wanted to pick apart the sequence of notes.

Just a word of warning - I'm fairly sure this nest of thirteen bells does not conform to the 12 note chromatic music scale we westerners are used-to in the modern day. Don't know whether that is the limitation of bell making/tuning at the time - or whether musical scales were different back then. I'm vaguely aware, for example, that some of the baroque music (Vivaldi etc) and medieval music, was written using different scales and has to be transposed to be played on modern instruments... All a bit above my pay-grade!
