The tuning of organ pipe flutes
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…

Could anybody possibly help me out with identifying this signature? I have been told that the clock it is on is 1850's

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

Clock restored waiting for the shelf to be up on the wall
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

The hackbretthur is finally done !
After I purchased this project at an auction some 9 years ago it is finally finished. I am onto the final stages on the 26 pipe flute clock with the two automated birds.

1800 hackbretthur clock in final stages of restoration.
I started this project some 9 year’s ago and I’m finally finishing it up. I just had a piano tuner come to the house and tune the 63 strings on this harp clock. It plays eight songs and changes the song every hour automatically. It is a very lathe clock but it plays magnificently.

Hands ultrasonic cleaned for the organ clock
These are the elaborate hands off of the organ clock with the two automated birds. I ran them though the ultrasonic cleaner to get them ready for when Pobo is finished restoring the front shield.

They are a nice pair of hands Gary, very unusual and some great engraving. They have cleaned up well.
