Question
Hi,

How can I disable the quarter hour chimes on my Pear clock?

Answer
Your Pearl should have a shut off lever for this purpose.  It is usualy accessible through a slot in the dial.  Usually at 3 o'clock.  Another, and not always suitable alternative is to bend the chime hammers back so they cannot strike the chime rods.  Regards WJP
