Music boxes,bells and animated clocks

[Guest guest]

That's great,Vivian. I can hear the birds when I'm out side but can't tell

the different in them. Maybe it will be better this coming Spring, as last

spring was my first spring in 43 years to hear anything.

Can you tell what " song " is playing on the music box or do you just hear it

as sound? I go to the symphony with my husband for him it is a pleasure for

me it is a listening exercise have you tried listening to classical music and

what is your experience with it? Vivian

Hi and patsy

I also have a music box collection which I started 10 yrs ago after my 1st cI.I

have lost count of how many I have.I also have a bell collection that i kept in

my hutch for yrs.After I received my 1ST CI i took them out of the hutch and

they are now scattered all over the house.

For Christmas the first yr i received my CI I got 2 bird clocks and a bird watch

for Christmas.Needless to say our house is filled with music ,bells ringing and

birds singing.Sometimes ,when my Gsons are over,we hurriedly wind up all the

music boxes and they all play at once.This is one of the favorite things to do

at Grandmas house!!I love it!!Also ,when I dust,I wind up each music box as the

table or whatever it sits on gets dusted

In case any of you may be interested, I recently purchased a unique clock

called the DreamTime which sounds several different chimes to announce the

time. When you touch the disc, it will chime the hour and minutes using two

tones -- one pitch for hour and minutes from 1-9 and a different pitch for

ten minute increments.

For more information about the DreamTime, visit:

I heard about this clock from someone on a blindness related e-mail list.

She found the clock while doing a Google search, purchased it and thought it

would be a wonderful clock for the blind.

Once I receive mine, I'll let you know how I like it!

According to the website, the DreamTime flashes in several different colors

for hours and minutes. It also says the lights used are 3 times brighter

than normal ultra brights. With that being the case, I would think this

clock would be perfect for someone with low vision.

Yes its good for one with low vision. But one must have good

concentration too, to tell time with this device. LOL

LOL! Knowing me, it will take at least a month before I understand what time

it is. <grin>

From what I read about this clock, a month is not unreasonable. It

certainly is not a typical clock, has no clock face let alone the hour and

minute hands. LOL

This clock sounds similar to a talking clock I own which announces the time

in a British male voice and has no visual display (since it's designed for

the blind and visually impaired).

I have at least 20 different talking clocks in my collection and 4 talking

calculators. I guess you could say I'm never at a loss to know the time.

LOL!
