Carillon Musical Instrument

A carillon is a musical instrument that is placed in the bell tower of a church or the municipal building. This instrument is made of at least 23 cast bronze and have shape of a cup. The Carillon musical instruments are used to produce a melody or to play a chord. The carillon is the second heaviest of all extant musical instruments, while the heaviest carillon in the world weighs 91 tones.

Carillon Bells Music

The Carillon, as you might have noticed by now, is actually a rare but wonderful musical instrument of historical significance. In fact, there are only 11 carillons in the world today. The bells are tuned to carry a two to six octave range, and it can be played by using a keyboard and foot pedals. What is notable about the carillon is that each note is produced by an individual bell and the musical range is determined by the number of the bells. A combination of carillon and other instruments is not a good choice, because the carillon is far too loud from the other concert instruments.
