Today I had a lovely private tour and live demo of our church carillon.
About the Church and Carillon
Built in 1925 from local gray fieldstone, the square tower is 67ft in height and surmounted by turreted battlements. The tower contains the bell from the previous church and a memorial set of chime bells (a.k.a. carillon), ranging in size from 275 to 2000 pounds. The carillon was built and installed way back in 1925 by the MeNeely Bell Company of Troy NY.

Thanks to Deb for the demo!
The Bells
The bells are on the floor above -- A bit of a scary climb!
