THE FRANK HERSCHEDE CLOCK COMPANY HAD EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS TO THE CANTERBURY CHIME MELODY, AND FEATURED THE CANTERBURY IN THEIR FABULOUS TALL CASE TUBULAR CHIME CLOCKS. HERSCHEDE ALSO PRODUCED CABINET CLOCKS WITH THE CANTERBURY, BUT NOT VERY MANY, SO WHENEVER I FIND ONE I ACQUIRE IT TO RESTORE. NOTE THAT THE CANTERBURY CHIMES UTILIZES SIX NOTES, THEREFORE SIX CHIME RODS RATHER THAN FOUR. ALSO NOTE THAT THE HERSCHEDE CHIME CLOCK NUMBER 10 STRIKES THE HOUR ON A SPLENDID THREE-NOTE-CHORD AS OPPOSED TO ONLY A SINGLE NOTE.
