[@tambrosia]

BRAVO Thank you for sharing and showing what skill you have on such a tough instrument to play Merry and Blessed Christmas to one and all and May 2024 be a lot better than 2023

[@DavidChristensen1]

Thank you and may you have a great year in 2024!

[@keyplayer123]

A great arrangement, so skillfully played.

[@Ed_Okin]

I sure miss the Carillon bells. I 💙 UCR

[@DavidChristensen1]

I miss them also.

[@Gwennhwyvar]

Wow! What an instrument! And what a player, too. All those magnificent bells. Thank you, both for playing and for allowing this video to be made and shared, Mr. Christensen.

[@DavidChristensen1]

Thank you very much.

[@chrisbeck2758]

this is carillon

[@marekfoolforchrist]

Amazing!

[@jackwhite5255]

Tuning of the bells is performed by turning on a special lathe. This is not possible in some cases, meaning that a new casting would be necessary. But this would be very expensive.

[@larsruben1]

I love carillon.

[@MatthewsNation]

The UCR carillon was built in 1966 with 48 bells cast by Paccard. Who built the keyboard? I thought it might be Petit & Fritsen because the turnbuckles on the wires look similar.

[@DavidChristensen1]

The playing console was designed by Arthur Bigelow and my understanding is that it was built to his specifications by Paccard.

I watched a lot of your videos and wow my congratulations for you, gretings from Mexico.

[@DavidChristensen1]

+Fernando Remington Thank you, Fernando.

[@submissivepeanutbutter585]

do you have any recommendations on how to learn to play the carillon?

[@standard-carrier-wo-chan]

If I'm a Billionaire I want one of these built for myself, or maybe for public with a fee.

[@SidneyJohnson-p2n]

I can play this song by ear on the piano

[@Ganaha_Celosia_Priskos]

Oh, so you use your fists to play the instrument! Reminds me of a piano but with bells

[@brodyhawkins3158]

It truly is amazing. Look up Cast in Bronze. He is amazing

[@Ganaha_Celosia_Priskos]

Brody Hawkins Thanks for the suggestion. I will check him out soon.

[@brodyhawkins3158]

No problem.

[@theboywhodroveaway7954]

+Celosia Prisco-Ganaha It is called a ''carillon.''

[@Ganaha_Celosia_Priskos]

Mj Z Yes, I know. It's a really cool instrument :)

[@plumcrazypreston2797]

sounds in a minor key

[@annak9096]

due to the shape of the bells, they have a very strong sound in the minor 3rd overtone!
