Tubes for a Hermle 1171-890 movement

Would anyone know what notes the nine tubes for the Hermle 1171-890 movement are?

I'm building a clock using this movement, but I believe the tubes are something I can manufacture myself, if I can find out some info.

What size are the tubes that go with this movement? What's the material?

I think I can just get brass tube, then cut & finish it to the correct lengths.

Feel free to write to me directly, at "publichank <at> comcast <dot> net"

I'm also interested in the hermle 1171-890 with a very large home biult clock case. I'm having a hard time finding someone in my area that has one to hear. You said you want to try making your own tubes! I find that very inavative. or at least to custom make the hour chime tube. The one nice feature about the flagship movement is that they told me you can turn off the melody 1/4 hour and just hear the hour strike only. I like that feature. Not so sure Kieninger offers that! If you find out anyting on these movements let me Know. Keep in touch. Thank You. Tim

I have one of these movements. Not sure on the notes, but I could at least get you the measurements of the tubes. Let me know if you are still looking for this?

I would very much appreciate the length of the 9 tubes.
