ABSTRACT:
A musical circle of fifths clock that allows a user to tell practical time as well as hear musical scales at the turn of each hour. The clock has a housing having a face portion and a rear surface. A music generator, positioned within the clock housing, stores the musical scales, and plays the appropriate scale at the turn of each hour. The face portion has an outer perimeter around which hour indicators are positioned. The hour indicators are represented by the tonic of different musical scales. When all of the hour indicators on the face portion are taken as a whole, a perfect circle of fifths is represented.
