Piano students who are learning Carillon Bells
in Piano Adventures ~ click here to see my photos of a real
carillon (Noyes Memorial Carillon, House of Hope Presbyterian Church in
St. Paul, Minnesota)
"The House of Hope was one of the first churches in
North America to have a carillon when the bells were installed in the
tower in 1923. House of Hope's carillon is a four-octave, fully
chromatic instrument with 49 bells ranging in weight from 11 pounds to
5,280 pounds. It operates entirely by mechanical means; that is, each
key is connected directly to a bell by means of wires and transmission
bars, and the instrument is thereby under the player's complete
expressive control."
