I was pleasantly surprised when I made my yearly Strathmere vacation this year. The past two years, the Strathmere Volunteer Fire Company's Model 2 had been broken. But now it appears they have fixed it and it's doing a daily noon blast.

In this video, you can also hear the hourly chimes from the Strathmere United Methodist Church, where I practice organ while I'm here.

I like the "Thine be the Glory" hymn that they play for the chimes. Sounds nice! With that said, the Model 2 also sounds nice!

Yes, I'm an organist, so I like it too. It's a nice hymn. They play different hymns depending on what the chime system does. And yes, the Model 2 sounds nice too. I was surprised it was working again this year.

My two favorite things! Model 2's and carillons! Awesome!
