Greetings,
I’ve been commissioned to make a case for a HERMLE triple chime cable driven clock kit.
The installation instructions are vague at best, sigh..
My plan is to make a three quarter inch back frame with three eights inch removable panels to facilitate adjusting the chime rod hammers but I wonder if using a sound board is actually an improvement in sound over simply mounting them directly on the back frame. And if I use a sound board how do you adjust the rod hammers? The side panels are non removable glass.
I also plan on having the case “sit” on a separate plywood base with adjustable feet; the bottom moulding will cover the base.
The footprint of the cabinet is roughly twelve inches deep by twenty two inches wide and a height of almost seventy inches, I would think a safety cable attached to the wall would be a good idea???
Anything else I should be aware of?
TIA, Don.
