myfs_87133 Posted March 3, 2003 Share Posted March 3, 2003 Dear Master Lee:I was out shopping for a clock with metal pendulum...however, I could not find one that actually makes the tick tock noise or the click clack sound. I was told that they don't make those anymore....nowadays...the type of wall hanging or free standing small pendulum clock (other than the huge grandfather clock) either makes music on the hour with a swinging pendulum or just a plain clock with a swinging pendulum that does not make any noise...Please advise which is better - the quiet swinging pendulum or the one that makes music (with a silent swinging pendulum).Regards, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted March 3, 2003 Staff Share Posted March 3, 2003 Dear Ceci,Yes, nowadays, many of such clocks such as the Seiko, Citizen, Hosenki brands use a plastic decorative pendulum that is spray painted `gold'.Given that some of these makes sound, Ipersonally feel that these type of `pendulum' clocks and the slient ones that makes noice are not really appropriate. Can consider them as decorative items. For the `cuckoo type' of clock; more is need to understand if they can help especially to neutralise bad yellow earth #5 or a combintions of it with other bad earth.Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 3/3/2003 3:50:00 PM, Anonymous wrote:Dear Master Lee:I was out shopping for a clockwith metal pendulum...however,I could not find one thatactually makes the tick tocknoise or the click clacksound.

wasis Posted March 8, 2003 Share Posted March 8, 2003 Hi,Have you heard about Metronome? It helps pianists to practice the tempo. It hasa pendulum inside the case and generates metal sound "tick tock". You can seethe picture at http://store3.yimg.com/I/catamuse_1728_5347407There are many kinds of metronome such as pocket size. Mine is traditional onewith metal pendulum inside (just like the picture on the URL). The frequency canbe set.Can be it used as a metal cure?Thanks in advance.Regards,Wasis----- Original Message -----From: "free-advice Listmanager" To: Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 6:16 AMSubject: Pendulum clock Quote From: "Cecil Lee" Dear Ceci,Yes, nowadays, many of such clocks such as the Seiko, Citizen, Hosenki brandsuse a plastic decorative pendulum that is spray painted `gold'.Given that some of these makes sound, Ipersonally feel that these type of`pendulum' clocks and the slient ones that makes noice are not reallyappropriate.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted March 10, 2003 Staff Share Posted March 10, 2003 Dear Wasis,1. Yes, it can be used. So long as it has metallic sound or metal parts.2. In the past, this question was asked.3. In my opinion, those old China clocks where we have to wind the spring; can be used since it makes metallic sound.4. Frankly, I do not own a metrome but have seen it on TV or watched kids use it for their piano lessons.5. I honestly believe that (correct me if I am wrong) is that unlike a clock; perhaps this one needs a faster change of batteries? If it constantly needs a battery change, then, it is not economical to use.6. I am saying this because, often many people buy those automatic deodrant spray machine for the toilet but often when the canister becomes empty, they do not replenish it. I think, one may perhaps draw a parallel of this: if we need to change batteries. But if it needs only to change battery say at least 2 or 3 months; then, it is more likely to be use.7. I personally think that it could perhaps make a much louder sound than say a grand father clock? Is this true? If so, can this `noise' filter into the bedroom or even study room? Creating a `disturbance' especially in the dead of the night? Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 3/8/2003 12:27:55 PM, Anonymous wrote:Hi,Have you heard aboutMetronome?

wasis Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Dear Cecil,Please see below: Quote 5. I honestly believe that (correct me if I am wrong) is that unlike a clock; perhaps this one needs a faster change of batteries? If itconstantly needs a battery change, then, it is not economical to use.The traditional metronome doesn't need any battery. It is only a pendulum.7. I personally think that it could perhaps make a much louder soundthan say a grand father clock? Is this true? If so, can this `noise' filterinto the bedroom or even study room? Creating a `disturbance'especially in the dead of the night?Yes, this is the disadvantage. FYI, the famous pendulum clock maker is Junghans, but expensive.Regards,Wasis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
