Question
How do i know if my clock chimes ava maria as well as westminister...where would the chime melody changer be located and how would i change it?

Answer
if it has more than 5 chime rods and hammers inside the back it could have Ave Maria as well as Westminster and one more chime. However, Ave Maria is NOT normally found in these clocks, so I think it is probably a Westminster chime ONLY. the change lever would be on the dial in a slot near the number "3". No slot or lever means it is Westminster only.
