    Looking for "in-home" GF.clock maintenance. GF clocks are kind of big, and don't like moving about.

    This clock is rather "new", like 28 years young. A "Howard Miller", with hour and quarter hour chimes. Clock keeps excellent Time, but the chimes are a bit off key. My guess is the pads on the hammers are heading south, as the notes are a bit off. (Does it have pads??) Kinda like a piano, I guess, when the pads go "soft". Clock has had no maintenance at all.

    I'm in Severn, 10 miles or so South of BWI, and looking for a "certified" ClockSmith.

    Had mixed results with two old(er) (one 50+yrs, other maybe 60yrs) clocks with both of those places
    Nothing bad enough to speak ill of them, i will say they both worked until they got it right. One took several service calls on the one clock to get it keeping decent time after they serviced it. They were both always courteous and professional.
