The listings are alphabetized by state or province and municipality. Part I is a listing of carillons. Part II lists cast- bell instruments which are activated by a motorized mechanism where the performer uses an ivory keyboard similar to that of a piano or organ. Additional information on carillons and other bell instruments in North America may be found on the GCNA website, http://gcna.org, or the website of Carl Zimmerman, http://towerbells.org.

A carillon is a musical instrument consisting of at least two octaves of carillon bells arranged in chromatic series and played from a keyboard permitting control of expression through variation of touch. A carillon bell is a cast bronze cup-shaped bell whose partial tones are in such harmonious relationship to each other as to permit many such bells to be sounded together in varied chords with harmonious and concordant effect.

  • A Haptically Accurate Practice Carillon
    A Haptically Accurate Practice Carillon Joseph B. Brink* Ying (Jean) Zheng1* John B. Morrell^ Yale University Department of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science ABSTRACT Mastery of musical instruments remains both a rewarding and chal­ lenging haptic task. The carillon is a particularly difficult instru­ ment to practice due to its public nature and variability from loca­ tion to location. A dynamic model of the carillon key (baton) is presented and a design for a haptically accurate practice carillon is proposed. The Passive Dynamics Practice Carillon (PDPC) is able to emulate a range of actual carillons using adjustment of passive masses and a spring. To evaluate the necessary fidelity of such a design, a study was conducted in which participants were asked to discriminate between batons with differing impedance parameters. The results showed that subjects are more sensitive to the force parameter and less sensitive to the stiffness and inertial parameters. In all cases, the passive adjustment increments on the PDPC were well below the sensitivity of the test participants. This leads us to two conclusions: a) a passive dynamic system is sufficient for a haptically accurate practice carillon and b) the Passive Dynam­ ics Practice Carillon can be simplified to be less accurate but more cost effective while still sufficiently matching the haptic feel of real carillons. Keywords: carillon, haptics, passive dynamics Index Terms: H.1.2 [Models and Principles]: User/Machine Systems—Human Factors; 1 INTRODUCTION Figure 1: The Yale Memorial Carillon resides in Harkness Tower (a). Mastery of musical instruments is one of the most challenging All 54 bells (43 tons in total) are arranged in a space in the tower haptic tasks that humans undertake.
