Hi!

Electrostatic chimes? Can anyone tell us more about those?

Best wishes

Hi

I guess the chimes are some sort of reed arrangement, struck by a hammer, with a suitable pickup working on the same principle as a capacitor microphone (or the late lamented Wurlitzer electrostatic organs).

Many Compton Theatre organs derive the chimes from the Melotone unit - again electrostatic in operation, but akin to the later Hammond electro-magnetic system in layout and capable of producing sustained sounds as well.  The chimes decay being produced by a keying circuit.

Every Blessing
