Summary
| Description |
English: The Exhibition Place Carillon in 2015 - In 1974 the Carlsberg Company of Denmark provided funding for the construction of the 50 bell carillon. The bells were cast by the Royal Eijsbouts foundry of Asten, Holland. The largest bell weighs 4850 pounds and the instrument transposes up a perfect fourth from concert pitch. Four of the large bells are equipped with outside hammers to sound the Cambridge Quarters and hour strike. A unique feature of this carillon is that when the steel screen near the bottom of the tower is open, figures representing characters of the Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale, “The Swineherd” parade from one side to the other. When the carillon was built, it was played most days of the week during the Exhibition but is now rarely played. |
