At some point I will upload a video of the trumpeter mechanism working. Still getting to know the clock and how it works.

Good afternoon, I just bought this Sorg clock. I'd like some information about the manufacturer, year of manufacture, and how it works. I see it has only one chain and one pulley, but it also has movement trains and a chime mechanism. What can you tell me? Thank you.
It's a beautiful dial and surround, one of the typical styles for Sorg clocks. I haven't seen fancy hands like that. Usually hands on Sorg clocks are simple arrow pointers or moon hands. The hands on your clock fit properly, so I suppose they could be original.

Hello,
This clock has been in our family for almost 300 years. I have no information on it other than it was made in Wales. It is approximately 1 meter in height, 1/2 meter in width and 1/4 meter in depth.
Might anyone know if others like this exist?
Thank you.

This is one that was at auction quite a few years ago, I have no idea where you would display such a clock

Tuning flute pipes (flue pipes) in an organ clock (like Black Forest-style flute clocks or flötenuhren) with a small blower is a practical method for restoration or maintenance, especially for individual pipes outside the full instrument.
Organ clocks use small wooden (or sometimes metal) flute pipes that play melodies via a pinned barrel or similar mechanism. These are typically stopped (closed at one end) or open flue pipes, voiced and tuned similarly to small organ pipes but on a much smaller scale. A small electric blower (often a variable-speed micro or hobby blower, like those for airbeds/inflatables) allows you to test and tune pipes one by one without needing the full wind system or bellows.
Setup for a Small Blower
• Use a variable-speed micro blower (e.g., a small 12V or 230V fan blower) with adjustable airflow. This mimics the low wind pressure these small pipes need.
• Attach a…

Schwarzwälder Glockenschläger — literally a Black Forest bell striker / bell ringer clock. The obvious first part of the signature is Anton, but the rest on the photo is unledgable. The period of manufacturing is in the mid 1800’s . The signature is also possibly from a person who serviced the clock as there seems to be what appears to be a round stamp in the bottom left hand corner of the photo. On other note the clock is missing the back enclosure behind the figures as ahown in the photos below

I just received the restored front shield today, but due to freezing weather I can’t fabricate the shelf to mount it up on the wall next to the harp clock
It's very pretty.
What a fantastic clock! I love it 👍
