[analogorgans] Re: Zimblestern

Since the turntable spins...one runs the risk of "throwing off" the bells as 
they are fairly heavy.  Instead, consider mounting the bells just off the edge 
of the turntable, and instead, mount just the striker on the turntable.  That 
way you only have one light-weight object to "mount" to the spinining table.  
Just a suggestion.

  Over the years I've heard of several who started with an old turntable as the 
platform for a home made z/stern.  Mounting the bells on that, with the striker 
off to the side would seem to work well.

   

  The first time my wife heard a z/stern in a concert she put her hand up in 
the shape of a phone (thumb/little finger outstretched), leaned over to me and 
said, "Hello."

  Merry Christmas everyone.

  Anyone here ever built their own zimblestern? 

   

  Any ideas on how to start? I am thinking of putting together a 9 bell and 
interfacing it with my Rodgers 925

   

   

  Thank you
