Grandfather Clock Sounds

Sound of a grandfather clock chiming. Field recording of an old grandfather clock using Scarlett Studio (gen 3) Microphone. White noise reduction filter applied, otherwise, sound is raw. To edit this sound to strike at a time other than 12, copy the final strike and all reverb. Delete original strikes, then paste chime down, with relay sounds to your discretion. Paste to ensure strike reverberation is always playing underneath.

A nice quality, clear recording. I've used it to create strikes from 1 o'clock through to 12 o'clock for my grandfather clock which only has an annoyingly loud bell. I've got a Raspberry Pi playing the audio every hour and it sounds fabulous! Many thanks.
