No threads were found.
The Carillon boasts 67 cast bronze bells covering a range of 5 1/2 chromatic octaves. The total weight of the bells is 82,753 pounds; the largest (bourdon) bell, a G-flat, weighs 7 1/2 tons, while the smallest weighs 22 pounds. On times when the carillon is not being played manually, the Westminster Chime will sound. The Westminster Chime is a quarter-hour time indication consisting of a melody which grows as the hour progresses. At the top of the hour it is followed by the hour strike, indicating the time of day.
