Programmable doorbell blends soothing chimes with real wood craftsmanship
We're constantly on the lookout for new doorbell ideas. This one by designer Mike Skene lines up 13 aluminum chimes in an tree-hugging, high-touch sycamore frame. Order the chimes in various configurations and octaves, and then you can program them to ring out the songs of your choice. Mike foresees downloading ringtones to the doorbell from an application such as iTunes.
This chic design might fit in beautifully in a well-appointed home. It's an all-natural look, playing back soothing sounds from Zen-like chimes.
Nice, but wouldn't it be more versatile to have a high-fidelity speaker inside, so you could play back any sound you desire? Call it YourBell. Just an idea.

Have you heard the 142nd episode of the hilarious podcast called gadgettes from cnet? The first 5 minutes into the show they talk about this door chime and the awesome aspect of 'customizable ringtones', plus their idea of putting in a finger print reader which will allow specific tones to be played for particular visitors. Brilliant!
