Chime rods of my Franz Hermle mantle clock were broken, most of the shops are selling entire chime unit but not individual rods, so looking for spare rods to fix this chime unit.

These days, the rods are permenantly secured in the chime casting block. If a rod should happen to break out of the casting, most companies will junk the entire chime casting block. It may be best to purchase a whole new casting block, as I am not aware of any companies that sell the individual rods.

I did find one vendor who was selling chime rods in India, but I am not sure how to cut them as per the tune. I’ve also mailed original manufacturer (i.e. Franz Hermle) regarding spares, but did not receive any response from them.
