These three chords were used by NBC originally in the 20s and 30s to tell the affiliate radio stations when to change shows while the real shows were being recorded in New York

They were the only three pitches that could be clearly heard over the airwaves.

Interestingly enough it also stood for the General Electric Company which later took over NBC.

The notes "G, E, and C" did not stand for the General Electric Company, that is a myth. See: radioremembered.org/chimes.htm the first indepth research into the history of the chimes on the web.

This is cool! I once made a four-part SATB harmony version of the NBC chimes, soprano got G4 E4 C5, alto got G4 G4 E4, tenor got G3 C4 E4, bass got G3 G3 C3

That's the chime! G - E - C (chord C major).

There is vintage footage of it being used with an announcer saying after it "" WEAF, New York." Those were the call letters of the test station.
@chantingmammal2 жыл бұрын
speaking of WEAF, It's not a Test Station but it was the original name for 66 WNBC that ended operations in 1988 and was replaced by WFAN 66

Jason Finn Those call letters stand for “World’s Greatest Radio” (except the “Z” which actually represents the number 2 because you can’t have Arabic numerals with call letters in the USA).

Maybe NBC will license a company to manufacture and market NBC chimes similar to (and sounding exactly like) the ones seen in this clip.

@WedgePee2 ай бұрын
A xylophone has wooden bars. Since this one has metal bars, it’s a glockenspiel.
