It is.

She's got a bad case of the smoker cough. There's a solid dent in the edge where the steam hits in the highest pitch chime, and there's a hole in the 2nd highest pitch chime going to the center of the whistle, where the stud runs through.

If you pull the cord all the way down to the floor it sounds pretty cool, but it's really really dissonant otherwise. Two of the chimes fight.
