A Look at Melody Wall Clocks
Sound can affect our mood. That is an important reason why melody wall clocks are used to enhance the lives of people around the world. More than the soothing, calming, rhythmic tick, tick, tick of the usual clock with which we sometimes find ourselves keeping our lives in step, a melody, whether a chime or another pleasing sound, can bring a smile to our lips and a gratifying memory to our minds. This pleasure can be attained without the cost, bulk, and maintenance of a grandfather clock as there are many attractive wall clocks on the market that provide a similar experience. They can be set to play on the quarter hour, half hour, or on the hour.
Some clock chimes are from the works of Schubert or Beethoven. While the famous Westminster chimes are believed to be a sort of prayer, the Whittington chimes are named for a boy who heard a message of encouragement in the local church chimes and went on to become a mayor of London. St. Michael’s chimes are named for bells cast in London, but having a history in S. Carolina.
The unique cuckoo clock melody is usually Happy Wanderer or Edelweiss. Their melody plus motion sequence is world known. Less traditional melody clocks are available with or without an accompanying motion (movement of hands or other added parts). They are in a variety of styles and components, plastic to exotic woods, etc. They fit with any decorating style. The clock works vary in many ways also, analogue or quartz movement or pendulum. There may be a selection of tunes to be played. One can find a melody wall clock the opens, divides, creates a dancing or skating scene, and even tells time! They are available in kit form; one hopes the builder has some serious experience in mechanics.
There is a large selection of melody clocks in any style for children. There are lullaby clocks and zoo animal clocks and educational clocks to choose from. There is a melody clock for sale somewhere to suit any room in your house, with melodies to calm or enliven you. No doubt, you could record “Get to work and finish that homework or you will have no car privileges” put to music for that teenager’s room.
Melody wall clocks are available in big box stores to jewelry stores. There is one waiting for you today.
