To adjust the chimes on a Westminster clock, locate the hammer adjustment nut usually found on the back of the movement. Use a clock key to turn the nut clockwise to increase the volume of the chimes or counterclockwise to decrease it. Make small adjustments and listen to the chimes until you reach the desired volume.
The Westminster chimes originated from the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster in London, specifically from the Great Bell known as Big Ben. The melody is based on a series of musical notes from the hymn "Abide with Me," composed by William Henry Monk in 1861. The chimes were first used in 1859 when Big Ben was installed and have since become iconic, marking the hours and serving as a recognizable sound associated with British timekeeping. The melody has been adopted in various contexts, including in clocks and music worldwide.
