Re: Historical MN Sirens Map

(small bump, sorry) After a bit of digging (sorry for getting to you so late, I haven't been on the board much recently), I found that the Northwestern Bank Building is actually currently the Wells Fargo Bank currently at 620 South Marquette Avenue. From this perspective, it looks like it was situat...

Re: Is this a Musical Siren or a Vent?

No, it is not a music siren. Although it vaguely matches the description of a music siren, the 2nd generation music siren's housing is able to disassembled from all sides, whereas the object in the picture looks like it's meant to be taken off to reveal what may be inside. It is also a bit too large...

Re: Historical MN Sirens Map

(small bump) Do testing locations count? If so, here's an image from when Minneapolis was testing the capabilities of a Chrysler-Bell Victory Siren on the Northwestern Bank in 1943: https://chorus.stimg.co/22478680/Siren3.jpg?w=1400&h=600&auto=compress&cs=tinysrgb&crop=faces&dpr=1

Re: Yamaha Music Sirens

Again I'm back with more stuff, I found a screenshot of a newspaper from Dayton, Ohio talking about the 1st gen music siren at Yamaha's headquarters. This was written in 1953. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/253400270858354689/677640791757291550/Dayton_Daily_News_Sun__Apr_19__1953_.jpg?ex=65...

Re: Yamaha Music Sirens

bump Devin Buynoch has found some new photos apparently. https://i.imgur.com/R2ftF51.png I tried to find the original source of this image for a while, but with no luck. I suspect it could possibly be from one of the poster's videos that are now deleted or private. Of course, Marumitsu. https://i.im...

The chemical warning siren at DHL Chemical Transport can be heard and seen in this clip:

Re: Yamaha Music Sirens

I'm actually not sure about the Kobayashi music siren, as I forget when the date was taken, and it seems to be on a flimsy mount for a few thousand pounds of weight. I looked closer and it seems to be mounted on the bare roof of the building. Maybe that "mount" surrounds the music siren l...

Re: Yamaha Music Sirens

I found a video of Uwajima's speaker array playing "Tonbe". Although muffled, you can hear the "idle sound" of the music siren when none of the notes are open. Nice catch. It seems that it runs like any other music siren. Also, just an FYI, I am MusicSirenRetweets on twitter. I'...
