About Carillons. A carillon is a musical instrument composed of at least 23 carillon bells, arranged in chromatic sequence, so tuned as to produce concordant harmony when many bells are sounded together. It is played from a keyboard that allows expression through variation of touch. The keys are struck with the half-closed hand.
About the Carillon. Built in Coatesville, Pennsylvania and inaugurated in December 2010, this is the first traveling carillon built in the United States. It is comprised of 25 bells dated 1951, and 10 new bells cast by Royal Eijsbouts, a bell foundry located in The Netherlands.
