The chimes are "rung" by a horizontal corkscrew that turns below them, pulling each one back and releasing it, in sequence. The notes go up by half tones, and are actually rather pleasant to wake up to. The only thing that I wish was better was that when they do hit the bar, the tones are kind of dampened, so they produce more of a *dink* rather than a *ting*... but I still prefer it to a jarring alarm.
