Heath Zenith 56 Wired Door Chime, Cherry with Rubbed Bronze Tubes Review

We had an old-timey doorbell that had the actual brass tubes that hung down and were struck when the doorbell rang. When it finally gave out, we searched quite a bit for an equivalent replacement, wanting to steer clear of all-electronic ones that just had a speaker instead of an actual bell. This was the closest thing we could find.

I was hoping that because this door chime had actual mechanical strikers that it would give a similar rich sound to my old brass chimes. However, this doorbell sounds like the sort of bell you hear when you walk into a mall store, at the deli line when the next customer comes up, etc. Just a cheap sounding, generic "donk-donk." Maybe an electronic one wouldn't have been so bad afterall.
