My vote is to just use two transformers and be done.

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”?
