Best best striking clock I have is our Howard Miller clock... Love the chimes on that one... One thing this clock in the video has going for it, is the Clock Case... I believe it is Oak.... Seems to be very well made... One thing I did find out, The Chefoo Clock Company has been around for a long while...If you notice in the video, the wall clock running in the background, That is a Chinese Chefoo Clock from about 1905... I have another one from about 1895...... The Movement in this Grandfather clock is pretty simple...Also, I may be able to adjust the Gong for a little better sound....I will have to look in to moving the hammers slightly..
I went downstairs today and worked on the Gong... It wasn't hitting both rods... Sounds a lot better, now... I will make a short Video and post it, soon, whenever I can catch it on the hour! This Clock will probably go to my Daughter, if she wants it... We already have a house full of clocks........I know she wanted the last one I worked on, but I just couldn't part with it...
That strike is so cheesy

Worked on the chimes... Maybe a little better, what do you think?....ua-cam.com/video/BaZWU4RXJpI/v-deo.html😁
@@jackoshaw Yes it's a little better have you ever thought of putting a Westminster chime or triple chime movement in one of those?
