 January 6, 2013 | New Circle of 5ths Clocks. Our turn.
We'll confess this wasn't an original idea, but surely good enough to steal and adapt for our own merchandise store as both an educational tool and studio decor. This 10 inch wall clock will not only help you handily travel the circle of 5ths, it can help you keep time.
Literally...
We didn't see the need for including all the Relative Major/Minor relationships, so we streamlined it down to its 12 step purity. So many ideas are clear here, the 6 hour (180 degree) jump across the face gives you the Tritone pairs (i.e. A/Eb). Clockwise adds sharps and eventually subtracts flats. Counter clockwise does the reverse. A four-hour jump does yield the Relative Major/Minor keys (i.e. C Major/A Minor). We all have our favorite zone of the face, generally the strings like the sharp keys, the horn players like the flats, and of course, everyone dreads the enharmonic hours with all the extra flats & sharps (B/Cb, F#/Gb, C#/Db).
Unless of course your using FFcP--then you don't care what key you're in!
Surrounded by a black plastic case, the background comes in your choice of classic Clark JM Cherry-Colaburst, and the new Sorensen Sprite Blueburst. Requires 1 AA battery (included).
Purchase one (or both!) for your home or office from our CafePress JM Logo Store and help support the site while you're at it. Only $18.99!
