I guess we'd have to know what you mean by sound nice!

Are there tones/songs you don't like?

In my last house I had the long pipes, which I loved~my Grandma had them when I was a kid, and I told myself I would have them in my house one day. The tune was the Westminister chimes, which are pretty standard, but there could be others, as well as a different housing unit than the traditional design pictured. The one pictured is what I had, but w/o the clock.

Hmmmm, maybe I should change mine out. ;o)

I like sounds that sound rich and resonant. Most of the bells I have heard seem to have a cheap recorded sound with a crappy speaker and some kind of a plastic cover (sometimes painted to look like fake metal).

Pattycakes - I love long chimes and did find a company that makes them and also restores old ones. Knock Doorbells

GWlolo, I too prefer rich and resonant chimes. Your link didn't work but I think this may be correct. If not, please resubmit as I'm on the look out for beautiful chimes also. Have you heard them yourself?

I just check your link. $1,400 for a restored chime is out of my price range. Ouch!

Here's a Westminster on ebay. Great price, but used.

when we moved to our current house a year ago it just so happened that my grandfathers clock AND our doorbell have the same chime ,(Westminster)Half the time we dont know if its the clock or the doorbell, lol,

I honestly don't even mind a two tone. Maybe the ones at I head at our local HD were particularly crappy. Any recommendations at all?
