Hang Gate, Where the Belfry Judges Your Hang-Time

Field notes

The page describes a listening-based inspection rather than a screen-only measurement: staff hear the initial strike, track decay, and check individual partials for early damping or one-sided muting. Its examples include a 2018 club with short decay and a partial missing on the prairie side. The site also frames weather as part of the test, arguing that a note that hangs indoors may behave differently near the Minnesota River or in a west wind.
