Can you just change them both to a school-bell? That seems easiest.
My house was wired for a doorbell, but one was never installed. I put
in a UBNT Doorbell, and tried to get it to ring a cheap ding/dong chime,
but could never get it to work, would sometimes ding, but never dong. I
route it through a 24VAC relay to trigger a 24VDC electronic chime now.

Do you mean like use the relay to trigger the ding-dong after the button is
released and the school-bell is done?

I think you are correct about the cause of the issue, probably the easiest
solution is to leave the buzzer in the main circuit, and wire a 24vac relay in
parallel with it, using the relay contacts to close and open the circuit to the
ding-dong bell.

I know some of you are really good at this stuff…..
I’m in a 95 year old house. There are two doorbells. I just replaced the
front doorbell with a new cheapo from Lowes. Two chimes and two solenoids.
One solenoid fires when you press the button, and the other fires when you
release the button so you get the “ding-dong”.
There’s an old doorbell in the back kitchen that sounds like an old school
bell. Two coils make the clacker move rapidly back and forth striking the bell
repeatedly.
Well, when I hooked up both the old and new bell at the same time, the school
bell goes off when you press the button and the new one just goes “dong” when
you release the button. Either one works fine hooked up separately. I’m
guessing the first solenoid never fires on the new doorbell because the school
bell is a way heavier load and takes all the current. I could just replace the
school bell, but I kinda like the nostalgic factor. And I suppose the other
easy answer is put them on separate transformers triggered by the same switch.
Is there some simple nerd-gineer answer like “just put a resistor here”?
