The difference between ping-pong sound and octave of floor clock

The difference between ping-pong and floor clock octave;

1, the ping-pong sound of the floor clock means four tones, four tones means four reeds, and eight tones means eight reeds, which means the number of reeds inside. The floor clock is to imitate the sound effect of the big copper bell in the big clock tower by tapping the reed (or sound tube) and adding the * * * ringing device. It can be said that it is a kind of onomatopoeia technology. The four notes on the right side of the octave spring are used to play the bell music of Westminster Abbey. The four reeds on the left are struck and pronounced at the same time to ring the bell and tell the time.

2, the floor clock is a household item, as the name suggests, it is a clock placed on the ground, usually placed in the living room. There are many styles of floor clocks, and the well-known old floor clocks are very collectible. The floor clock, also known as the grandfather clock, has existed for more than 500 years.

3. The installation of the floor clock should go through the steps of hanging the sound tube, hanging the pendulum, hanging the hammer and setting the time. First, put the music stop switch in the stop position, and then move the minute hand clockwise to adjust the time. Then, the automatic correction function of the mechanical movement can restore the time to normal. Put your hand on the side of the pendulum, move the pendulum horizontally to the left or right to make the rudder close to the side of the clock shell, then let go to make the pendulum swing greatly and the clock starts to work.
