Fantastic! Any chance to see and hear the new chime?

The recording volume is a bit low, It strikes 11 at the beginning of the video.
The bell can be seen between the weights in front of the pendulum.

@@darrellaldrich8334 Oh, ok, I hear it now. Recording volume seems to be a common problem for chimes, they always turn out much quieter than when hearing them in person. When recording chimes, I tend to work on the audio a bit:
1. Reduce noise (so it won't be a problem after amplification)
2. Amplify the sound (+20-30 dB)
3. Apply low pass filter (about 3kHz cutoff; helps with noise and softens the initial strike; for some reason, the first strike tends to record much louder and sharper than it is)
