Not my video...Sirens were going off for a Tornado Warning. The Model 7T doesn't sound the best.

She sounds a bit underpowered.
I can't speak for the timbre, tho. A bit throaty/congested perhaps?

That 7T definitely sounds like it's having motor problems. The pitch isn't steady in places.

Great ambiance, though!

Sound like a single phase 7t in need of a new set of brushes.

Yeah, I wondered if it was a single phase unit, since it has a lower pitch than usual.

It'll be sad when Wichita's old system is gone. There's so much variety of pitches in it. I've always thought that it was one of the best sounding systems in the country.
