A carillon consists of 23 or more cast bronze bells specially tuned to produce everything from classical music to hymns to popular melodies. It is played from a keyboard with two rows of spindle-like wooden keys, struck by half-closed fists, and from a pedalboard duplicating the lower octaves of manual keys. A mechanical wire linkage connects bells and keyboard.
The McDonogh School carillon, one of approximately 200 in North America, includes 48 bells, wighing a total of nearly 10 tons. The smallest is 24 pounds and has a diameter of 7 ½ inches; the largest weighs more than 1.6 tons and has a diameter of 53 inches. The bells were cast and tuned in the Netherlands by the Petit and Fristen Foundry, which dates back to 1660.
