A company which manufactured fire apparatus, and also cast the bells
for their fire engines, now produces carillons! Petit & Fritzen?
I play the carillon.
I would complain about that church starting bells at 5:00 AM!!
They should turn down the volume - should not be louder than REAL bells.
They should not be allowed start so early - unless they always did and your house was later constructed nearby.
Real cast bronze bells are so expensive - middle C weighing
5,000 lbs is over $50,000 for that ONE note!
In a scale, they will often omit the first two sharps: C,D,E,F,F#,G,G#...
The low C# and D# would be nearly as expensive as the C and D bells
but not played enough to justify the cost.
I "played" a Change Ring on the chime of 10 bells in the Denver City Hall clocktower. Played from piano-type keyboard.
Four notes C,D,E,F played by left hand in red ink on the staff paper/
bells G,A,B & C played with right hand in green notes.
Extremely difficult to play because each change (pattern) of 8 bells is different (changes to a new pattern)
and my hands/brain struggle with awkward strange-sounding patterns and want to repeat others.
Wish I could program each pattern correctly and then go outside to listen and enjoy instead of struggle to get it right - at which I still failed.
An English couple visiting over Christmas was very moved to hear it.
