A Swiss-made cuckoo clock chiming 6 o'clock. A second clock in the room can also be heard ticking. MS907 and MZ-N10 MD. A small amount of dynamics processing was applied to reduce inter-tick hiss.

Freq - this was recorded at a customer's house, so I have no control over adjustments! You say it sounds a bit slow, but you suggest lengthening the period ... ???

Very clear and strong... however...

It sounds like your pendulum uneven and a bit slow...

:)

There's .351 seconds between one swing and .521 seconds between the other... (.876 seconds between )

For the sake of your very precise Swiss cuckoo clock maker - please pull the weight down a bit (to lengthen the period) and adjust the level of your clock to get it 'back in beat' (sometimes there's a leveling screw at the top of the pendulum where it hooks to the clock).
