Sunday Morning Chimes Ring Over Paisley ' here does that nostalgic sound come fi'om‘! Each Sunday rooming, Just before 10:00 am. many of you can hear the sound of chimes floating over the town of Paisley. Those lovely sounds come from the Presbyterian Church. The organist, Helen Cumming is playing her favourite hymn tunes on a midi keyboard which. in 1997‘ was added to the digital Allen Organ. The wiring system for the chime sounds had been installed back in l949 with the purchase of the former organ, which came with chimes. The wiring was discovered to be usable, and is now piping the sound to a speaker system in the bell tower. The chimes keyboard is linked‘up to a midi box which can produce about 200 other sounds. Not only can Helen play chimes with it, but also the sound of mshiug water, birds singing, waterfalls, thunder â€" and sounds too scary to even mention. If Helen wished she could spoof the entire town .su'nply by pressing a few buttons Of course, Helen would never do that â€" at least, not intentionally. She admits that one day she forgot to reset the button for indoor use. and all of Paisley was able to hear her choir The Bells areRinging... 1 Hcl C . .
